    Hey adam, my name is travis, and i hate to say, but i haven't been doing so well. Ive been having some serious heart problems lately and to be completely honest i might not be around much longer. The doctors have no idea whats wrong with me and it only gets worse the longer i wait. But watching your videos everyday give me happiness and faith to hold on as long as i can no matter how painful it is. Im only 16. And im not ready to go just yet. But i tell you what, it would absolutely make my day, my month and my year, if you were to just mention me in a vlog it doesn't have to be much but it would touch my heart and make me feel alot better. Ive been a fan and have been watching everyday since i discovered you several years ago when you went to james deans high school. And i just really admired your personality. If i cant say good morning to you once more i just want to say i love you adam. And you always helped me when things got dark. Thanks

I have always been a history person and I love that you take the time to find out more than the average person would, you do research and talk to the local people. Thank you for what you do and I hope you make your way to South Dakota after it warms up.

    That was really amazing to see that spot. I read about the day that changed baseball forever a long time ago, and never thought I would get to see it so in-depth. Thank you for that.
    One of the coolest factors, for me, has always been that The Babe was pitching that day, and wasn't known for being a hitter. Just goes to show what happens when you take advantage of the chances you are given.

  • @Vader47000
    @Vader47000 7 років тому +1

    That 573-foot home run is more significant than you think. The spring training game in which Babe Ruth hit it was the first time he played a position in the field other than pitcher, filling in at first base. His display of power led to the decision for him to play more in the field, eventually transitioning from pitcher to full-time hitter, where he would set countless records.

    With everything going on, politics, the "Offduty LAPD shoots at kids" BS story etc and you stay out of it.
    It's refreshing that it's just 'Merica. Allows the mind to wind down
    Thank you!
    Whenever you come to the south San Diego area, let me know, I could do the projects you wanted for the RV. Install lights, the camera, etcs. There is a wifi repeater setup you can put on top of your RV. That you can pull in free wifi around 5 miles and bring it into you RV's wifi and its as if the wifi is coming from your RV. You provide the parts I do the labor.

    Just outside Minneapolis, the stadium that the Twins and Vikings played at has been torn down and the Mall of America sits on the sight today. At the amusement park at the center of the mall there is a bronze home plate in the ground where home plate was in the stadium, and across on the other side of the park, bolted high on a wall in the corner is a seat from the park where the longest homerun in the stadium history landed. It's pretty awesome.

But once he was sold out of Baltimore he never looked back, I guess too many bad memories.

    Adam, there is another famous inlaid plaque similar to that in Milwaukee, WI. In the preferred parking lot of Miller Park is the spot where Hank Aaron’s 755th Home Run Ball landed. The plaque in Milwaukee is somewhat bigger and not too hard to spot on a non-game day. There are some nice pictures of it online.

    Man, I wished I had known you were coming to HS. The demolished building you kept talking about was the old Majestic Hotel where a few Presidents slept. The hotel on the right (The Velda Rose) was a watering hole for many a Vegas entertainer because the Vapors (building on the right of Velda Rose) was a showplace for Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. Also, with all of your visits to Memphis and Elvis, you walked right past an Elvis connection better known as Mountain Valley Water which Elvis drank religiously and they also have a receipt for delivery to 3764 EP Blvd.

    How far was the longest home run ever hit?
    The distance: 656 feet to the point where it first landed! 19-year-old Mickey Mantle had just hit the longest home run in baseball history! But Mickey wasn't finished. His second homer, also hit left-handed, was a high, opposite-field drive that easily cleared the left-field wall.
