Christopher Columbus: Across The Ocean Sea

Buoyant and determined, and having at last won the support of the king and queen of Spain, Christopher Columbus sailed west from Europe with three ships, confident he would reach the Indies by this new route and find the gold-laden civilization fo the great Khan.

After four risky expeditions in which he explored the Caribbean and landed on South America, Columbus died without acclaim, never knowing he had reached what would soon be known as the New World. While Columbus himself never realized the magnitude of his discoveries, his voyages across the Ocean Sea would soon be recognized as a major turning point in world history.

56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports

Seventy baseball seasons ago, on a May afternoon at Yankee Stadium, Joe DiMaggio lined a hard single to leftfield. It was the quiet beginning to the most resonant baseball achievement of all time. Starting that day, the vaunted Yankee centerfielder kept on hitting-at least one hit in game after game after game.

Joe DiMaggio
While playing for the San Francisco Seals the New York Yankees signed Joe for 25,000 dollars. In 1936 he joined the Yankees and stayed with the club for 16 years playing center field. Due to World War II, DiMaggio missed three years of baseball. During his career he was given such nicknames as “The Yankee Clipper” for his incredible defensive abilities and “Joltin’ Joe” for his hitting prowess.

Who Am I?
I am considered the first successful female artist of the Renaissance and the first to attain international fame. Many feel I opened up the door for future women artists to learn and explore the art of painting.
