April 12

1933: "Baseball opens in the Major Leagues today. President Roosevelt sees the Washington team defeat the Philadelphia Nationals 4-1. This is a new deal in baseball. Pres. Hoover always saw them lose." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1936: "Easter Sunday turns out a beautiful day, somewhat cold. The Kiddies surely enjoy their egg hunt around the house." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1942: "To six o'clock Mass at St. John's. Donald gets his first experience carrying Milwaukee Journals. He made 48 cents. Well, it's OK for a starter." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
