On this day, 12 July 1937 Bill Cosby was born.
Born William Henry Cosby, Jr. on this day in 1937, he grew up in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
After a four-year stint in the U.S. Navy, Bill entered Temple University in Philadelphia where he was active in football and
track.
But it was comedy that came naturally to the young Cosby, and he was soon on the road, doing stand-up comedy at
nightclubs, concert halls and theaters. Having made a name for himself in this area, Bill Cosby auditioned for the
co-starring (with Robert Culp) role of Alexander Scott in "I Spy" in 1965, the same year he married Camille Hanks.
"I Spy" was the world’s first dramatic TV series starring an African-American, and Cosby’s first attempt at drama.
He won three Best-Actor Emmys for his effort. A sitcom, "The Bill Cosby Show" was next, featuring Cosby as
high school basketball coach, Chet Kincaid.
A doctorate in education was in the stars for the TV star. While earning the degree from the University of Massachusetts, Cosby
continued to entertain us with TV comedy and variety shows, "The New Bill Cosby Show", and "Cos".
His love for children shined in the 1972-1984 animated Saturday morning show, "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids".
Cosby’s real life role of husband and parent (four daughters, Erika, Erinn, Ensa, Evin and one son, Ennis, who was tragically
killed in 1997 at the age of 27) was played out on his hit TV show, "The Cosby Show";
#1 for three years of its eight-year run (1984-1992). It was in this show that Cosby truly endeared himself
to audiences of all ages and races.

On this day, 13 July 1934, Babe Ruth hits home run number 700, against Detroit.
It was worth $20 to Babe Ruth to get the ball back that he propelled over the wall at Detroit
for the 700th home run of his major league career.
Ruth retrieved the ball for a souvenir from Leonard Beals, a boy who caught it outside the
park, and gave the lad $20 for it.
