You got it chevy, that would have been my guess also. Only one I ever ate in was in St. Louis and that was 30 years ago and I haven't forgotten that horrible taste yet. And people actually love them.

The Gateway Arch had Engineering tolerances of just 1/64 of an inch at it's base, any more and it would not have met properly at the top. I saw it being built back when we would visit my brother in Dallas. (1964 or 65???) I also saw a doc @ SHS on how it was built. It is made of stainless steel and was constructed in triangular sections by ALCOA. I saw a recent picture of the guys who maintain it. They were outside ...ON TOP!

This Jerome and his brother never made sausages. In 1934, he said that he and his brother Paul would win 45 games between the two of them. They won 49 games. He set an NL record for 30 wins that year. Afterward, he said,"It ain't braggin' if ya can back it up."

They are doing away with this guy's museum in Van Meter, Iowa. It's going to be the next City Hall. No one showed up. It was too far away from the beaten path. Who is this MLB player? (Rapid Robert)

Bob Feller is the answer. Should have had his museum in Cleveland.

Robert William Andrew Feller (November 3, 1918 – December 15, 2010), nicknamed "The Heater from Van Meter", "Bullet Bob", and "Rapid Robert", was an American baseball pitcher who played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians. Feller pitched from 1936 to 1941 and from 1945 to 1956, interrupted only by a four-year sojourn in the Navy. In a career spanning 570 games, Feller pitched 3,827 innings and posted a win–loss record of 266–162, with 279 complete games, 44 shutouts, and a 3.25 earned run average (ERA). A prodigy who bypassed the minor leagues, Feller first played for the Indians at the age of 17
He also threw the second fastest pitch ever officially recorded, at 107.6 mph (173.2 kph), in a game in 1946 at Griffith Stadium

I hear it was Bill Veeck's idea to grow the vines in the outfield when he was a teen selling popcorn. Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige (July 7, 1906 – June 8, 1982) was an American baseball player whose pitching in the Negro leagues and in Major League Baseball (MLB) made him a legend in his own lifetime. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971, the first player to be inducted based upon his play in the Negro leagues On July 9, 1948, Paige became the oldest man ever to debut in the major leagues, at the age of 42 years and two days. Longtime Chicago Cubs broadcaster Jack Brickhouse once said with amusement that Paige "threw a lot of pitches that were not quite 'legal' and not quite 'illegal.

Hockey question: His slapshot was once clocked at 118.3 mph (190.5km/h) and he could skate 29.7 mph (47.8 km/h). During his drive to be the first to eclipse the 50 goal mark, his wrist shot was claimed to be harder than his slapshot. (Not Wayne G.)

I was thinking more like Jeremy Roenick until you said first to 50 goals....then had to think earlier. How about Rocket Richard? Just going by the nickname......
