On Sunday afternoon, President Barack Obama did something that no POTUS has done in almost 90 years.

The last time this “thing” happened, Babe Ruth was helping the New York Yankees win championships, Amelia Earhart was making transatlantic flights and not a soul in America was allowed to legally drink an alcoholic beverage.

No joke. It’s true.

Speaking of Babe Ruth and baseball, there’s also this:

Strange times, indeed.

More from The Los Angeles Times:

The government of President Raul Castro is eager to welcome Obama, but also determined to reassert its own socialist values that it insists will not be bent to U.S. will.

Obama landed in Havana on Sunday afternoon to embark on his historic two-day trip, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit the island nation in nearly 90 years.

The trip is a significant step in Obama’s effort to end a half-century of Cold War enmity between the two countries. He plans to tout the economic benefits that normalized relations can bring to Cuba, but he’ll also criticize the government’s human-rights record and meet with dissidents.

UPDATE: Obama will meet with Raúl Castro Monday and address the public in Havana eventually. The current president of Cuba — and Fidel’s brother — greeted POTUS with a military honor guard and renditions of both the American and Cuban national anthems.
