So far so good for Cruz
So far so good for Cruz: Senator Ted Cruz got some good news this week.
First, the latest poll shows that he is up by 11:
With less than five months before Election Day, incumbent Ted Cruz leads Democratic challenger Colin Allred by 11 percentage points in the…..
We remember Pete “Pistol” Maravich (1947-88)
Pete Maravich was born in Alquippa, Pennsylvania, on this day in 1947. He was born in a basketball family and accomplished so much on the court.
It’s fair to say that Pete was a better college than NBA player.
Pete died suddenly in 1988 at 41 during a pick up game. It was a shock, a real shock.

We remember Carl Hubbell (1903-1988)
We remember Carl Hubbell, one of the great lefties in major league history. Hubbell was born in Carthage, Missouri on this day in 1903.
He broke with the Giants in 1928 and started 14 games.
He turned into one of the game's greatest pitchers: 253-164, 2.98 ERA & 260 complete games. In other words, he completed more games than he won, a rather rare accomplishment.
Hubbell pitched a no-hitter in 1929 and won 24 consecutive games between 1936 (16) and 1937 (8), the longest such streak in Major League history.
Carl is also remembered for his 1934 All Star game performance: he struck out Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin consecutively.
The legendary lefty was inducted into The Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947.

We remember Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906-2001)
We remember Anne Morrow who was born in New Jersey on this in 1906. She died in 2001.

Anne, a college student and Charles, touring the world after his historic flight to Paris, met during that visit.
To say the least, Anne's life was never the same after meeting Charles. They were married in 1929.
Anne was a very accomplished writer and woman, as you can see by checking out any of her books. She was also the mother of 6, including their first son who was kidnapped and found dead in 1932.
