Each of the following events happened on July 6. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) Forrest Gump opens in US theaters, quickly becoming a huge box-office success. The Tom Hanks-led film sees a good-hearted man with a low IQ wind up at the center of numerous key cultural and historical events during the later 20th century.
• B) Althea Gibson claims the women’s singles tennis title at Wimbledon, becoming the first African American to win a championship at London’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
• C) Sergeant Stubby, a bull terrier mutt, receives a gold medal from America's commanding general John Pershing for “heroism of highest caliber” in 17 battles. The US Army’s first-ever canine to be promoted to sergeant, Stubby's heroics include locating wounded soldiers in no man's land, warning his unit of incoming mustard gas/artillery attacks, and catching a German spy by biting his legs.
• D) Major League Baseball hosts its first-ever All-Star Game at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. Originally billed as a one-time “Game of the Century,” the All-Star Game is now a permanent fixture of the baseball season.
