2022-10-31 18:07:19 Henry Ford
Born the first child to William and Mary Ford in 1863, Henry grew up on a farm in Michigan. He went to school in a one-room schoolhouse and helped do chores on the farm. At a young age, he was very interested in how things worked.
He left home at the age of 16 to work with a machinist. He did odd jobs after that until he married Clara Bryant. At that point, he ran a sawmill. Finally, in 1891, he became an engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. He worked up through the ranks, which allowed him free time to work with engines. He created his own quadricycle, which was a bike on four wheels.
Ford went on to accomplish his dream of owning his own company and making his own car. In 1908, he introduced the Model T, but cars were still too expensive for most people. Ford invented the moving assembly line, which allowed him to make cars that were inexpensive, reliable, and efficient. Ford is credited with making the United States a nation of cars. His company is still around today. It is the Ford Motor Company.

2022-10-29 19:30:09 Babe Ruth
On February 16, 1895, a star was born. A baseball star, that is—George Herman Ruth, Jr. He would go on to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. At the age of seven, George’s father took him to St. Mary’s School. It was a reform school and an orphanage. George seldom saw his family after that. He was in trouble a lot at school. Brother Matthias took George under his wing and became a great supporter of young George.
George showed a natural talent for baseball early on. He was a great catcher and pitcher. Jack Dunn gave George his first baseball contract, which was to play with the Baltimore Orioles. The players called him “Jack’s newest babe,” and the name stuck. From then on he was known as Babe Ruth.
Babe Ruth stayed with the Orioles for only five months. At the age of 19, he was playing in the major leagues for the Boston Red Sox. Babe set many records. One of them still stands: He still holds the record for pitching 13 innings without a score. This game went on to be the longest complete game
of the World Series. Babe went on to play for the New York Yankees. He set even more records. In 1920, his first season with the Yankees, he set a record of hitting 54 home runs. His greatest homerun was probably when he pointed to the outfield wall in Wrigley Field and hit what is believed to be
the longest home run hit there—right where he had pointed. Babe Ruth deserves to have his name remembered in baseball for many years to come.
