MONROE, Utah - Walter Fredrick Morrison, the man credited with inventing the Frisbee, has died. He was 90.
Morrison sold the production and manufacturing rights to his "Pluto Platter" in 1957. The plastic flying disc was later renamed the "Frisbee," with sales surpassing 200 million discs.
It is now a staple at beaches across the world and spawned sports like Frisbee golf and the team sport Ultimate.
I think that this is an interesting news story because he is completely unknown and for him to pass away is tragic but amazing to know that the "Frisbee" was actually invented by somebody.
