In what year was the Cadillac Automobile Company formed, and who was it named after?
ANSWER:
Cadillac was founded in 1902 by Henry Leland, who named the company after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who happens to be the founder of Detroit.
Just six short years later, Cadillac brought the idea of interchangeable parts to the automotive industry and laid the groundwork for modern mass production of automobiles.
As a result, Cadillac became the first American car to win the prestigious Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England. After earning such high praise Cadillac adopted the slogan “Standard of the World.”
Hank Aaron was voted to, or selected for, his league’s All-Star team 25 times during his 23-year career in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Perhaps you are wondering how he managed that in a 23-year career. This: MLB played two All-Star Games each season for four years, 1959–62. The rosters were compiled separately for both Games (though there was a lot of common overlap), so being named to both teams (as Aaron was) in a single season counted as two selections.
He had additional opportunities. Between 1959–1962 (4 seasons), MLB, trying to generate more money for the player’s pension fund, played 2 All-Star games per year. Thus, Hank played 8 All-Star games in the 4-year period, rather than 4 games.
Stan Musial and Willie Mays also took advantage of the extra games, ranking second to Aaron, each playing 24 All-Star games.
Musial holds the MLB record for most home runs (6) in All-Star games. This includes the 1955 ASG, where Stan won the game for the NL with a walk off HR in the 12th inning.
Listening to WA4TSC discuss the QotD as they ask “who was the first nation to create vehicle license plates, and in what year?” as I enjoy my coffee.
