July 20th, 1965

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

7/20/65 – Frank Sinatra immortalizes his hand prints in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood


Also on 7/20, Bob Dylan’s new single “Like A Rolling Stone” is released.

Also on 7/20, New York Yankees pitcher Mel Stottlemyre hits an inside-the-park grand slam
