Need a little help...

Bobby Kennedy was killed June 6, 1968.

Robert Kennedy

june 6th, 1968

Geez...how obvious is that!

Thanks...what an idiot. Ugh.

p.s. Just to be accurate, he was shot on June 5, but died at 1:22 a.m. on June 6.

Baseball Buzz,
you beat me with the answer by one minute!

No problem, just google!

The guy who sold it to me told me the flag was "due to Kennedy's death" but I stupidly locked in on JFK and thought, nah, that was November.

BTW, this guy has the coolest sports memorabilia store I've ever been in. He's a collector himself and his store (www.sportsinvestments.com) is half store/half museum.

He has Pete Rose's bat and ball from hit #4192 and the car (corvette) that Marge Schott gave to him that night in the store. He also has all kinds of Reds memorabilia and other stuff...some very old. I asked if he was going to donate to Cooperstown someday and he said, "nah, I'll probably sell it all." Its gotta be worth a ton!

The store is in a suburb of Cincinnati (Montgomery) very near where I grew up. Stop in sometime if you're there. Its not focused only on Cincinnati stuff but from all over. Easily the best I've ever seen.

TPM, I'd like you to think that I knew that off the top of my head, but the truth is I just happened to have Dorling Kindersley's Chronicle of the 20th Century on the table beside me and flipped it open to June, 1968 and there was the answer.

Baseball Buzz,
I had a feeling (but not sure) it was him because John Kennedy died in '63 (my birthday so I will always remember) and I knew Bobby was around 5-6 years after that.

So I googled!
