Each of the following events happened on June 2. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The MLB’s Seattle Mariners draft Ken Griffey Jr., a 17-year-old phenom who hit .478 his senior year of high school, with the #1 overall pick. “The Kid” goes on to smash 630 homers and become a first-ballot MLB Hall of Famer.
• B) Congress enacts the Indian Citizenship Act, officially conferring citizenship to all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the United States.
• C) Racing driver Bruce McLaren, 32, dies in a crash while testing a self-designed experimental car at a track in England. McLaren had been at the top of the international racing world for more than a decade at the time of his death. He’s survived by his racing team, which becomes one of the most successful in F1 history, and his luxury car brand.
• D) Senator Joseph McCarthy claims communists have infiltrated the CIA and atomic weapons industry. Although McCarthy’s accusations create a momentary controversy, they’re quickly dismissed as sensationalism from a man whose career was already trending downwards.

Hint: The Mariners earned the Griffey pick by finishing last in the AL
