Mays won two National League Most Valuable Player awards, and ended his career with 660 home runs—currently fifth all-time. During the 1954 World Series, Mays made an over-the-shoulder catch that is considered one of the most memorable moments in baseball history.

Named one of the Top 10 Advertising Icons of the 20th Century by Ad Age in 2000, Elsie the Cow has been among the most recognizable product logos in the United States. During her heyday, Elsie led the Rose Bowl parade, raised $1.6 million for World War II bonds, and collected keys to more than 600 cities. Elsie has a fictional, cartoon mate, Elmer the Bull, who was created in 1940 and lent to Borden's then chemical-division as the mascot for Elmer's Glue.

My guess Bush, who sadly just died!! 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: GEORGE BUSH Answer: When George H.W. Bush got his wings in World War II, he was the youngest pilot in the United States Navy. He enlisted on his 18th birthday and eventually flew fifty-eight combat missions. On one mission over the Pacific, he was shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft fire and rescued by a U.S. submarine. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his bravery. George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States, who lived longer than any of his predecessors and possessed one of the most impressive resumes in American political history, died yesterday at the age of 94.

Members phkrause Posted December 2, 2018 Author Members Posted December 2, 2018 17 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Were the Presidential Candidates in 1824? The four candidates for the presidency that year were John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, William H. Crawford, and Andrew Jackson. All four were members of the Democratic-Republican Party, which had been formed in the 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The two Virginia-born statesmen formed the party to counter the policies of the Federalist Party, which favored vesting most political power in the central government. However, in 1824 the Democratic-Republican Party failed to agree on a single party candidate for the presidential election. Instead, the party split four ways, with various groups within the party backing different candidates. Although the party managed to hold together for another four years before disbanding in 1828, the 1824 schism essentially sounded the death knell for the party. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: How Many Electoral College Votes Were Won by Each Candidate? Of the four Democratic-Republican Party members running against one another in the 1824 presidential race, Andrew Jackson was the biggest vote-getter, carrying 12 of 24 states and amassing a total of 99 electoral votes. In second place was John Quincy Adams who carried seven states and a total of 84 electoral votes. In third and fourth place, respectively, were Crawford and Clay. Although Crawford won only two states, those states carried with them a total of 41 electoral votes. Clay won three states, but his 37 electoral votes put him in last place. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: How Did the Candidates Fare in Terms of the Popular Vote? Prior to the presidential election of 1824, little, if any, attention was paid to the popular vote, because it was the Electoral College vote that determined the outcome of every presidential election as it is today. However, in 1824, popular vote totals were officially recorded for the first time. Winning half of the states in the Union, Jackson got 153,544 popular votes, followed by Adams, who got 108,740. Clay placed third with a total of 47,531, followed by Crawford with 40,856 popular votes. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: Which Candidate Did the House Select as President? The election was the only one in history to be decided by the House of Representatives under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution after no candidate secured a majority of the electoral vote. Under the provisions of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives must decide among the top three candidates for president if none of the candidates has won a majority of the Electoral College votes. Representative Henry Clay, who was disqualified from the House vote as a fourth-place candidate, agreed to use his influence to have John Quincy Adams elected. Having won half of the 24 states in a four-way contest for the presidency, Jackson seemed the logical candidate to be awarded the prize. Thanks to Clay’s backing, on February 9, 1825, the House elected Adams as president of the United States. This presidential election was also the only one in which the candidate receiving the most electoral votes did not become president.

''I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!'' The broccoli growers of California responded by sending a truckload of broccoli to the White House in protest.

Read my lips, no new taxes 18 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: READ MY LIPS NO NEW TAXES Answer: "Read my lips: no new taxes" was a pledge spoken by presidential candidate George H. W. Bush at the 1988 Republican National Convention as he accepted his party's nomination. The impact of the election promise was considerable, and many supporters of Bush believe it helped him win the presidential election. As presidents sometimes must, Bush raised taxes. His words were used against him by then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton in a devastating attack ad during the 1992 presidential campaign. Bush lost his bid for re-election to Clinton.

The course was originally only nine holes, but it was increased to 18 in 1893. All 18 holes, sadly, are no longer accessible. The Chicago Golf Club is now known as Downers Grove Golf Club, and only 9 of the 18 holes are operated. Although some minor changes were made to the course over the years, holes 2, 4, 7, 8, and 9 still maintain their original design integrity. Chicago Golf Club is ranked the fifth-most exclusive in the world. There are only 120 members and it will never exceed this amount, the only way to get in is by invitation from a member.
