60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
1/16/66 – Bobby Hull of The Chicago Black Hawks scores four goals (in what is his 17th career hat trick), only to lose 6-5 to The New York Rangers. In the process, however, he becomes the first player in team history to score 300 goals
Also on 1/16, in what can only be considered a big sports day in Chicago, The Windy City is granted an NBA franchise to be called the Bulls. (The Bulls will become the third NBA franchise to grace the city … and BY FAR, the winningest!)
