In a story that's almost hard to believe, American geneticist Mary-Claire King made her flight at the San Francisco Airport in 1981 resulting in her getting her first NIH grant and the discovery of the breast and ovarian cancer-causing gene, BRCA1. This all happened as the result of some impromptu babysitting of her 5-year-old from what legendary New York Yankee, who was 67-years-old at the time?
