In this edition of the Sports Break, we cover the top events in sports history along with the players and athletes that were a part of them on October 4. Today we feature stories about an early world Base Ball Championship, FIFA's oldest franchise, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Russell of the MLB, and many more. As a bonus, we place the jersey number worn at the time with the athlete as well.
