1953 Jim Thorpe decathlete (Olympics-gold-1912), dies at 64

Jim Thorpe was an amazing Athlete!

1. Believe it or not, a player once hit 3 home runs into 3 different states in the same game...Olympic champion Jim Thorpe played in a semi-pro baseball game in a ballpark on the Texas-Oklahoma-Arkansas border...He hit his first homer over the leftfield wall with the ball landing in Oklahoma...Then he hit a homer over the rightfield wall, into Arkansas...His third homer of the game was an inside-the-park home run in centerfield, which was in Texas!

2. Thorpe is one of two men in history who played for both the New York football (running back) and the baseball (outfielder) Giants

3. Thorpe played football professionally well past his prime, retiring in 1928 at age 41.

4. Jim Thorpe played major and minor league baseball for 20 years, starting with the New York Giants in 1913, later playing for the Boston Braves and the Cincinnatti Reds, plus several others.

5. Thorpe was the first president of what is now the National Football League.

6. Thorpe was .252 in his six seasons (1913-15, 1917-19) as an outfielder with the Giants, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Braves

7. Thorpe's best baseball season was his last, when he batted .327 in 60 games for Boston.

Jim Thorpe indeed was an amazing athlete!

Oh, bless you, Kathy. I need all the hugs I can get - I must admit to having been in the throes of a major "pity party" lately, as we call feeling sorry for oneself in my neck of the woods.

I think I'm over the worst of it, though. The fact that it's Friday and I don't have to worry about work until Monday helps - lol!

By the way, I'm rearranging my closet - remember that monkey graphic I posted a few weeks ago that you couldn't see? I found it waaaay back in the corner in the dark - let's try it again:

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ring around the mountain! Oh, those high-altitude rings. A cap cloud hangs over the summit of snow-covered Mt. Fuji in Fujiyoshida, Japan

Is this a beautiful picture or what? "

[Bethbg79]

I hope your day got a little better..

[Kathy in Alaska]

USS Mobile Bay!! Anybody recognize a penpal. The Mobile Bay is in our battle group.

[southerngrit]

lol!! I found a few other chaperones to help out - the responsible adults seem to have full plates - and we ALL know what happens when TK and the Beth are left unattended!!

Feel free to use these guys at your discretion - I might not be available to keep an eye on these two innocent angels!

[southerngrit]

It was amazing how much better it became at 5:31 p.m.!
