Hi all,
Here are some facts I have picked up along the way this past week.
See if you already know them!
1. The female ancestor of all living polar bears was a brown bear that lived in the vicinity of present-day Britain and Ireland 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, according to an international team of scientists. See:http://www.healthfinder.gov/news/newsstory.aspx?docID=654657
2. Baseball's first All-Star game was held in Cleveland on July 24, 1911. It was organized by Cleveland's team at the time, the Naps, as a benefit for their pitcher's family, Addie Joss, who had died suddenly of tubercular meningitis at the age of 31. In today's equivalent, they raised $300,000. See: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2011/07/12/joss-all-star-game-art-gpodbhug-1.html?sid=101
