1 - Ronald Reagan won re-election to the Presidency of the United States.
2 - Ryne Sandberg hit two game-tying home runs off of St. Louis Cardinals' closer Bruce Sutter as the Cubs defeated the Cards on a Saturday aftenoon Game of the Week.
3- The Chicago Cubs won their first title of any kind since 1945 when they defeated Pittsburgh 4-1 at Three Rivers Stadium to clinch the National League East.
4- After winning the first two games of the best-of-five National League Championship Series in Chicago, the Cubs drop the next three games to the San Diego at the evil cauldron that is known as Jack Murphy Stadium.
5- On the same day that the Cubs lost Game 5 of the NLCS, Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton became the NFL's all-time leading rusher, surpassing Jim Brown, "which is the equivalent of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's home run record" according to then-Chicago Bears radio announcer Joe McConnell.
