Did Babe Ruth's legendary 1919 Tampa home run really go 587 feet?

George Herman  'Babe' Ruth Jr. is one of America's greatest person in sports history and in American culture. George was born in Baltimore in 1895. When he was just a kid, he was in a boarding school. There, George was introduced to baseball because he had a hard time in school and the brothers decided to give him some distraction, which was baseball.
Ruth signed his firts professional  contract with the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. This team played in the 'Minor League' , which was one level below the well-known 'Major League'. Because George already  had a professional contract at a young age, he was nicknamed 'Babe'.
Babe was soon resold to the Boston Red Sox , and five years later to the New York Yankees. Thanks to Babe's otherworldly performance, the Yankees became the most succesful team of the time (1920-1934).
Babe Ruth had won a total of 36 awards in his career, including seven times the World Series championsship and twelve times the AL home run leader. Babe finished his career with a outstanding 714 home runs and a win-loss ratio of 94-46. George in his day turned the whole sport upside down.
In 1935, Babe Ruth retired from baseball at his last club ever, called the Boston Bravers. Babe died of cancer at the age of 53,  thirteen years after his last game.
Still, he was voted the best baseball player of all time in 1998 by the Sporting News. He was also awarded the Presidental Medal of Freedom in 2018. Babe is, and will always be a true sports legend for America.

‘The star and stripes’ are a consistent participant of the World Cup and therefore definitely a cultural element of America.
The United States national team is well-known for its participation in the World Cup series. Although the Americans do not often manage to last long, they are a fixed factor in the tournament. Of the last eight World Cup tournaments, America was present seven times. Only in the last tournament, in 2018 in Russia, the Americans did not qualify. (Which may be better for both Russians and Americans).
The best performance ever at a World Cup by 'the Yanks' is third place in 1930, which was the first World Cup ever. After this performance it took no less than fourty years to return to this tournament.
The best performance in modern times is to reach the quarterfinals in 2002. However, the men of America have a chance again during the World Cup in 2026 because they host the tournament, together with Mexico and Canada, and therefore do not have to qualify.
The American team is very successful in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. America has already won this tournament six times. Countries of North America, Central America and the Caribbean participate in the Gold Cup.
Also, America has often been close to a gold medal in the Confederations Cup, where they has been third twice and has been in the final once after beating Spain in the semi-finals and just barely lost against Brazil.
The American team does not have a real world star at the moment, but they has had real top soccer players in the past. You can think of DaMarcus Beasly, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Michael Bradly, which all have played in European leagues and are well-known outside of America.

Why is there so much fast food in America?

Why is there so much fast food in America?

# data[].attributes.body
When you think of American culture, and especially about American food, a lots of people are referring to American fast-food and fast-food companies very fast. Burgers, fries, fried chicken etc. is part of America’s most popular courses, but why is that? In Europe, Australia and other continents, we all have fast-food also, so why do we link fast-food to the American culture? Let’s find out.

Fast-food in general is easy. It is very easy to get. There are fast-food restaurants everywhere in America, you can order quickly and you are getting your order fast. Also, these meals are very cheap. For example, a Big Mac from McDonalds is six dollars, but it includes a burger, fries and a soda. Because of these reasons, fast-food restaurants are popular, especially in America. It is also a convenience factor. With fast-food restaurants on every corner and drive-ins you will have a meal within a few minutes.

In America, the biggest contributing factor to fast-food’s vast presence is that it is low in costs. A lots of Americans, who earn just enough to make ends meet and cannot afford expensive purchases or fresh food because they have to pay for everything themselves, like houses, medical affairs and cars, and often have no money for mortgages and insurance, are seeing fast-food as the cheapest option for dining.

Boots, plaid blouses, big hats, a piece of straw in the mouth and a banjo or guitar. If you ask someone what music they  thinking of when you are describing this scene, you will get the same answer nine out of ten times: Country music.

Country is part of American culture and a genre that sometimes still has hits today. It started all in the late 1910’s, where the first country-like music can be discovered in recordings of Southern Appalachian (New Hampshire)  fiddle players. Only ten years later, Country was acknowledged a real genre within the music branch.

The very first official recorded Country song was from fiddler Eck Robertson in 1922 called ‘Sallie Gooden’. It lasted only two years for a singer called Vernon Dalhart to create the first national country hit in the United States. From this moment, a whole new music genre was born.

Another great milestone for the Country genre was Jimmie Rodgers, better known as the ‘Father of Country Music’.  Jimmie Rodgers was the first Country artist that sold over one million records of his single ‘Blue Yodel number one’.  Also all his other songs, that are all recorded between 1927 and 1933, made Rodgers a major player in Country music.

Until Jimmie Rodgers, Country was kind of always the same. After 1933, other artist were developing new kinds of Country music. For example, people were discovering the ‘Honky-tonk Country’, the Nashville sound, the Bakersfield sound and other slightly different ways to produce Country.

In the 2010’s  we had some hits that also could be considered Country. Think about ‘Old town road’ from Lil Nas X, ‘Banjo’ from Rascal Flatts and the famous German-American Country band The Bosshoss which are pioneers of the modern Country.
