1862. The Battle of South Mountain. At three key passes Lee's badly undermanned men stave off McClellan's Union troops for a day, buying precious time. McClellan begins the process of fumbling the golden opportunity handed to him to crush Lee's forces before they can reunite.

1848. Groundbreaking of the UN building in New York City.

1987. The Toronto Blue Jays hit ten home runs in a single game, setting a MBL record.
Yeah know I consider myself a bit of a history buff, so don't be offended. Perhaps the UN building groundbreaking date you listed is about 100 years off.
