HOFer Oscar Robertson "the Big O" turns 71 today.
The "King of Ragtime", Scott Joplin was born on this date in 1868 (the date is disputed). He is most known for The Maple leaf Rag and the Entertainer. Joplin's music and ragtime in general experienced a revival due in part to it's inclusion in the 1973 movie, The Sting.
