July 5, 1921: Chicago White Sox accused of throwing World Series
On this day in 1921, the Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing World Series.
Back in 1989, we watched "Eight men out". It is a great movie about a bunch of players who got caught up in something very bad. Nevertheless, I walked away from the movie feeling very sad, specially for Shoeless Joe.
The book and the movie work well together. Read the book first and catch the movie later.

1954: Elvis Presley recorded "That's Alright (Mama)"
On this day in 1954, Elvis Presley and Sam Phillips may have arguably started the age of rock with the recording of "That's alright mama".
And so started the story of Elvis.
Two years later, he was selling millions of RCA records and putting one # 1 on the charts after another.

July 2009: The Dallas Tea Party with Adryana Boyne (Aldeen)
On Juy 4th, Adryana Boyne and I participated in the Dallas Tea Party on the radio. Here is the show:
July 4, 1826: John Adams & Thomas Jefferson died on the 50th anniversary of The Declaration…
As a kid growing up in Cuba, we were blessed with Uncle Joaquin, who was fanatical about U.S. history, especially the Gettysburg Address. I don’t know of anyone else who could recite the speech in English and then translate it into Spanish. He was a very well-educated man who taught at the law school and served as a judge around the area where the U.S. base is located in Guantanamo. He and my aunt stayed in Cuba and died in the 1970s. Who knows what happened to his nice home?
It was Uncle Joaquin who used to tell us stories about the U.S. One of them was how John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
They died within a few hours of each other, neither aware that the other was dying. Jefferson was in Virginia and Adams in Massachusetts. Adams’ last words were, “Thomas Jefferson survives,” while Jefferson’s were, “This is the Fourth of July.”
They were among the last American revolutionaries who stood up to the British empire and created what we celebrate today.
They also spent the last few years of their lives exchanging some great letters.
An amazing story and something to share with your kids today, especially if they are going to college.
Happy July 4th and show your flag today. I have a funny feeling that Uncle Joaquin is up in heaven cheering that I’m sharing this story with you today.
