Two non-musical history items for today: 1929 – Babe Ruth became the first baseball player to hit 500 home runs in his career with a home run at League Park in Cleveland, Ohio.

Also, in 1934, the first civilian prisoners arrived at the Federal prison on Alcatraz Island. I hear there was "no way" to escape it—until there was.

Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for August 11.
