THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

Pope John Paul II Shot in Vatican City (1981)
In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot in Vatican City's St. Peter's Square by Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca, who was captured and imprisoned. Although the pontiff was shot in the stomach, he recovered and publicly forgave his would-be assassin. In spite of the physical setback caused by the shooting, he continued to travel widely, eventually visiting 129 nations and increasing the international character of the papacy.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Seinfeld Series Finale Airs (1998)
One of the most successful situation comedies in the history of television, Seinfeld is often described as a show about nothing. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the latter of whom starred as a fictionalized version of himself on the show, it featured a collection of selfish and neurotic characters obsessed with the minutiae of everyday life. After nine seasons, the series came to an end.

The finale was kind of a dud.  Not worthy of the rest of its run, imo. 

I thought it was fine.  It's pretty much an impossible feat to satisfy the fans after so many years of production.  Nothing was ever going to be considered worthy.
