On October 5, 2018, superstar quarterback Tom Brady made history by throwing his 500th career touchdown pass. He joined an elite group of NFL quarterbacks to achieve this remarkable feat. But let's not forget some other big sports moments that happened on this day. Horace Rawlins won the very first U.S. Open in 1895. That's quite a long time ago! In 1980, Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant celebrated his 300th career coaching victory with the Alabama Crimson Tide. And in 2001, Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his 70th home run, tying Mark McGwire's record.
Sports history is filled with exciting moments like these. They remind us of the incredible athletes and coaches who have made sports so thrilling. But it's also important to think about how these achievements impact the game and the people who play it. For example, when Brady threw his 500th touchdown, it showed just how skilled and consistent he is. But it also made us wonder who might be the next quarterback to reach this milestone.
