Birthday shout-out to Pedro Martinez born October 25, 1971. The Baseball Hall-of-Famer was a 3x Cy Young winner (twice with the #RedSox) and was on the 2004 Boston World Series winner. His number 45 was retired by Boston. The most dominant right-handed pitcher of his era.

Today is National Boston Cream Pie Day! Created in 1856 by a French chef at the Parker House Hotel (now the Omni Parker House) in Boston, it's a cake and not a pie. It also makes for a great donut so swing by @KanesDonuts or your favorite shop today! #NationalBostonCreamPieDay

Birthday shoutout to Christopher Lloyd (@DocBrownLloyd) born October 22, 1938 in Stamford, Connecticut. He's been in classics like Back to the Future, Clue, Taxi, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He's also brilliant in Nobody/Nobody 2!

October 21, 1797, the USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is first launched. She was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in the North End of Boston, Mass. She is usually berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard at one end of Boston's Freedom Trail today. #OTD

can confirm Outside Providence was solid
Plus George Wendt costars in 1 of New England's most criminally underrated flicks, @farrellybros' Outside Providence. @ShawnHatosy, Alec Baldwin, Amy Smart, Richard Jenkins star. The film is based on the book about Peter Farrelly's experience at Kent School in Kent, Connecticut.

On this day in 1835, the first shots of the Texas Revolution were fired at Gonzales. Remembered as the “Lexington of Texas,” the battle was sparked when townspeople refused to return a cannon to Mexican troops. Under the banner “Come and Take It,” their stand marked the opening act of a rebellion that would end in the creation of the Republic of Texas. In honor of this day our ‘Come and Take It’ candle has been reduced to $25 for today only ⭐️

on that cult follower list
In TV history, September 20, 2002, #JossWhedon's Firefly premiered on Fox. The #SciFi Western has become a Mt. Rushmore of Cancelled Too Soon Cult Shows and on another timeline ran for 20 years entertaining generations. #Browncoats #IllBeInMyBunk
