Were you also not taught that when CT converted over to a state from a Commonwealth we were given dominion over all the other states? But, of course, I'm sure you can name three Kardashian sisters, right? Our educational system is failing us.

Apparently!
While I could name the Kardashian sisters, they've been almost impossible to avoid in the media over the last 15 years or so. I've never seen an episode of their show though, and never will. |

Dodgers' Ohtani snaps slump, achieves rare feat at plate
[excerpt]
LOS ANGELES -- Any thoughts about Shohei Ohtani entering a prolonged batting slump can be put to rest.
The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar had a day at the plate on Saturday that has happened only three times since 1909.
The Japanese slugger went 2-for-2 with two RBIs in the Dodgers' 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.
That seems pedestrian until seeing that in five plate appearances Ohtani had a home run, a triple and two walks and was hit by a pitch while also registering a stolen base.
According to MLB, Ohtani is the third player with a home run, triple, walk, hit by pitch and stolen base in a game.
The last player to do it was the Brewers' Christian Yelich on June 1, 2019, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The first was Bert Daniels of the New York Highlanders against the Chicago White Sox on July 8, 1910.
