The last memorable Home Run of Babe Ruth

I think not one of the baseball fans around the world knows the name “Babe Ruth”. He is most remembered for his versatility and almost unique talents that baseball player has during that era of him. It’s May 25, 1935 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Ruth hits his 714 home runs, this record remains to be unbreakable for almost 40 years. This will serve as the last home run of his career. I would like to take a brief story of his amazing and inspiring life.

On February of 1895, George Herman Ruth was born in Maryland. Causing some trouble at an early age and also staying away from school without good reason. This action led his parents to sent him to an orphanage. He stayed there for almost 2 decades before starting a career in baseball. He was just only 19 when he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles as a pitcher.

In 1914, he was sold to Boston Red Sox team, that’s the time when he got the nickname “Ruth”. During that era he was already known to be one of best pitchers. He set a record between 1916 and 1918 with 29 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in World Series play, including a 14-inning game in 1916 in which he pitched every inning, giving up only a run in the first. The next thing that happened change the course of Ruth’s life,which again he transferred to other team, the New York Yankees in 1920’s. He was also known to have more home runs than the entire Boston Red Sox team of the 10 of the next 12 seasons. During his career with the New York Yankees, the team won four World Series and seven American League pennants.

Until somewhere in 1974 a player named Hank

Aaron broke his record at 715 home runs. Babe Ruth died of a throat cancer on August 16, 1948.

Deep Blue vs. Gary Kasparov

My first entry for my blog would be this one, and somewhat it is much as interesting not only for myself and for you guys who could look back in history. This topic of mine states about an incredible feat that technology could really beat the odds and could compete about the greatest in the world before and even today.

            One great example of what happened this day in history was that on May 11, 1997, a chess playing computer developed by scientists at IBM named “Deep Blue” defeated chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov and made him resign after just an incredible 19 moves. In addition to this, Kasparov lost twice with this thing. Kasparov was considered the greatest chess player in history going into his match with Deep Blue. Carnegie Mellon doctoral student Feng-hsing Hsu developed a chess-playing computer named “Chiptest” that was designed to play chess at a higher level than its predecessors. Hsu and a classmate went to work for IBM, and in 1989 they were part of a team led by developer C.J. Tan that was charged with creating a computer capable of competing against the best chess players in the world. The resulting supercomputer, dubbed Deep Blue, could calculate many as 100 billion to 200 billion moves in the three minutes traditionally allotted to a player per move in standard chess.

            Kasparov as great as him said after the match : “I just lost my fighting spirit”. The chess world could not believe about the result, but it’s the fact that closes it in the end.He is known for his unpredictable plays and has really unique tactics in competing with other chess great grand masters in the world.
