Even the Washington Post covered the 100 year anniversary last year:

1845 – A majority of voters in the Republic of Texas approve a proposed constitution that, if accepted by the U.S. Congress, will make Texas a U.S. state.

.... and they've been sorry ever since.

Mike, I bet you thought I'd pick this one:

1903 – The Boston Red Sox win the first modern World Series, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the eighth game.
