Skip to content October 21st is the 294th day in the Gregorian calendar. On this day Fred Dryer of the Los Angeles Rams became the first player to score two safeties in an NFL game; the Guggenheim Museum opened in New York City, and French women voted for the first time in the French legislative election. Famous October 21st birthdays include Carrie Fisher and Alfred Nobel. Today is National Apple Day and Pets for Vets Day.
