What is the significance of chicken wire in baseball history?

Social Studies
1 answer:
pshichka [43]3 years ago
7 0

In baseball, as in life, timing is everything. Before the 1949 season started the White Sox GM Frank Lane had a chicken-wire fence installed in front of the existing walls in Comiskey Park. The new wire fence shortened the field by 20 feet to 332 down the lines and 425 to center.

It didn’t take the Senators long to take advantage of the shorter fence by belting seven home runs and beating the White Sox 14-12 in 10 innings. At the time this was the only time seven home runs were hit by one team in an extra inning game.

The Senators will hit another 3 home runs on May 4th as they beat the White Sox 8-7. The next day after the Senators left the windy city Lane ordered the chicken wire fence torn down.

3. Why did economist John Kenneth Galbraith believe that America's postwar economy was a new phenomenon?
aleksandrvk [35]

How did European involvement in Southwest Asia impact the region after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire?
liraira [26]

Answer:

Political borders were decided by European powers without consideration of the political and historic connections in the region.

Explanation:

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, a power vacuum was created in South West Asia.

This power vacuum attract many empires within the region which previously have to live under the Ottoman's shadow. They wanted to rise up and took the territories that previously under the ottoman's control.

Since none of the empire was particularly stronger over the other, Ottoman's past conquests were separated into smaller chunks which controlled by different empires.

After the hostile takeover, many of the new conquerors forced the past ottoman citizens to conform to the new traditions and religion and abandon the old ones. Which is why political and historic connections in the past ottoman's region gradually forgotten over time.
