Today is a double occasion for me: Independence Day and my birthday, both o which I celebrate.
A bit o Independence Day trivia: One President was born on this date; three died on this date. Can you name them?
Also, what do Mickey Mantle and Adam Dunn have in common? (It relates to the Fourth of July.)
bttt
:^)
So you have fireworks on your birthday every year?
If I recall correctly, two are Adams and Jefferson.
I was thinking of President Trump and his speech today, and I had this thought: The corrupt media spent a decade hiding the decline of Joe Biden, and spent a decade hiding the brilliance of Donald J. Trump.
Coolidge was born on Independince Day.
AT INDPENDINCE HALL RIGHT NOW!
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, and James Monroe died on July 4, 1831. Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4, 1872.
I don’t know about Mickey Mantle and Adam Dunn.
When I was very little, I thought it was cool that my dad got fireworks and parades on July 4th for his birthday.
“I don’t know about Mickey Mantle and Adam Dunn.”
Neither do I but Google is my friend. I could find no relation between the two men with regard to the 4th of July.
So.....what is the relationship, TBP?
300th HR for each
Also Albert Pujols hit his 300th HR on a July 4th
I didn’t bother to Google the question myself, but I will admit I’m mildly curious. Perhaps TBP will explain.
“Perhaps TBP will explain.”
Apparently Mantle and Dunn hit their respective 300th home runs on July 4th. Another poster said that Pujols also hit his 300th on the 4th.
Thanks. I’ve heard of Mantle but not the other two.
Both hit their 300th career home runs in Washington on July 4.
Yes, I do.
Thank you.
