Great moments in history and popular culture happen every day, and ON THIS DAY will share a few of them with you. We’ll also point you to related resources in our collection, helping you to discover classic films, musical favorites, and historical tidbits. The primary focus will be on our e-material – e-books, e-audio, and downloadable and streamable music and film – but physical books and DVDs will also be part of the fun.

	On this day in 1942, Robert Christgau was born. Christgau was among the first professional rock critics, and wrote for The Village Voice for almost 40 years. That's where he began his monthly "Consumer Guide" column, a collection of brief reviews -- some as short as a sentence or two -- of the month's major new albums. In addition to three collections of those Consumer Guides, Christgau has published two collections of essays. Most recently, he's written a memoir, Going Into the City; it's available as an e-book from OverDrive, or in print.
	On this day in 1946, Hayley Mills was born. Mills began her acting career as a teenager, and became a star in a series of Disney movies; the best-remembered of them is The Parent Trap, in which Mills plays twin sisters trying to reunite their divorced parents. Twenty-five years later, Mills would return to that role in a series of TV-movie sequels. The Moon-Spinners is more of a serious drama than Mills' other Disney films, a thriller about jewel thieves on the island of Crete. It's available for streaming at Hoopla.
	And on this day in 1981, the longest professional baseball game in history began. The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings played 32 innings before the game was suspended; it would finally be finished two months later after a total of 33 innings (the final score: Rochester 3, Pawtucket 2). The game began at about 8:30 p.m.; 19 fans were still left in the stands when the game was suspended shortly after 4 a.m. Dan Barry tells the story of the longest game in Bottom of the 33rd; it's available in print.
