From October 3-5, 1938, The President's Club and Great Southern Club of insurance company Great Southern Life met in Texas for a "San Antonio Fiesta". While insurance men partied in Texas, Germany was stripping away Jewish civil rights, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain faced criticism for his "peace in our time" speech days earlier, and American troops left the front lines in the Spanish Civil War.
On the last day of the event, the Yankees kicked off the 1938 World Series with a 3-1 win at Wrigley Field. Hall-of-Famer Bill Dickey was the hitting star for the Yankees, going 4-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
I can't help but wonder what kind of craziness may or may not have occurred at this "San Antonio Fiesta".
