Cleveland Indians

the NBA Finals after a long, stressful season. Ever since first following the sport when I was a little kid, LeBron has been of the best and most influential superstars in the league. In 2003, LeBron was drafted straight out of high school by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick. Almost immediately, he was an impact player, winning rookie of the year as the first of many awards and accomplishments. In 2010, he joined my hometown team, the Miami Heat, where he won his first two NBA…

Grover Cleveland The Progressive Era was a time of change and forward movement for the country. As the United States came to such a crucial time in its history, immersing into the Gilded Age, it called upon a great leader to take the reins and control the country with an iron fist. Although many great presidents emerged during this time and it could be argued that Theodore Roosevelt or William Howard Taft were the most influential presidents, when all the facts are analyzed and considered,…

Despite wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re…

A) “The big stick in the Caribbean sea” 1. What is the image conveying? How does the image convey such ideas/information? The image is conveying an illustration of Theodore Roosevelt with his expansion and enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine. Roosevelt once famously said, “Speak softly, and carry a big stick” regarding his attitude on foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine was a U.S. foreign policy aiming to dominate the entire American continent in the 1820s. It gave the U.S. to allow military…

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, both becoming presidents in an era dominated by private trusts and powerful businessmen, sought to revive American Democracy from its ashes. Theodore Roosevelt, having a semi-conservative perception of monopolies, believed strong American Capitalism could let America compete with the other great world powers. Roosevelt also believed that small businesses should be able to compete with the large trusts, as long as they are aware of the sheer power of the…

Organizational strengths are positions of organizational power that are derived from the organization’s state of existence. Given the present-day struggles of the San Diego Chargers franchise it would be natural for one to assume that the Chargers franchise is devoid of any organizational strengths. In actuality, the Chargers franchise possesses a multitude of internal strengths, each of which are capitalized on to various extents. Of the many strengths possessed by the Chargers organization,…

Although Stephen Curry has clearly proven to be great, Russell is still far superior in his athleticism, finishing, and defense. In my perspective, I consider Westbrook to be the best point guard in the NBA. What really makes this fearless point guard stand out the most is his monstrous athleticism. He only stands at a staggering 6’3, yet he is capable of jumping over 37.5 inches in the air. This allows him to use his quickness and hops to maneuver around his defenders to get anywhere on the…

interested in what had driven her students to find their passion in dance. So to find out she gave an assignment for each student to write a paper on how they fell in love with dance. In John’s case, falling in love with dance seemed as likely as the Cleveland Browns ever winning the Super Bowl. Growing up John was never the most slender kid. He always had a big appetite and a love for the sweets. His body weight was never a concern or a problem for him until he reached high school. John’s home…
