One of my favorite baseball anecdotes is that on the day of Custer's Last Stand, the Reds lost to the team that became the Braves, 8-7.

I used to live in Manassas, VA right next to the national park. We would attend the re-enactments there for the battle of Bull Run, it was fascinating to watch. The Civil War is a very interesting subject.
