The Fame Ball Tour

lunch as a family and it was great. As the week went on, it kept getting better. One of the best things we did was visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It was a baseball lover's paradise. Everything in history was in this museum, like Roy Halladay's perfect game ball and even Hank Aaron's locker that he used when he played. And after our tour was done, I got Mike Trout's and Bryce Harper's rookie cards who are two of my favorite players. The other cool activity we did as a team was that we…

Birth of a Legend : Leander Paes at the Atlanta Olympics “All I can promise is that every time I go on court I will give my best effort.” It is as simple as that for the 43 year old Indian tennis legend. But to do it for 25 years on professional tour is not that simple.

He is a role model for all the children growing up in…

This may sound absolutely insane to some, but at this time Tiger would watch his father, Earl Woods, hit golf balls into a net and young Tiger would try to imitate his father’s swing. By age two, Tiger made his first television debut on the Mike Douglas show where he beat famous comedian Bob Hope in a putting contest. At just three years old, Tiger Woods shot a…

two Grammys and made them more well known. In 2002 he confounded the One campaign to fight poverty around the world. Time magazine in 2005 awarded him with the “Person of the year” award.

were able, and are still continuing to, drum up a hefty fanbase. Phish consistently draws large numbers to their concerts even though they tour so frequently. These loyal fans are what allowed Phish to accomplish something most bands would never be able to: host a two-day music festival where they are the only act. This festival was known as the Clifford Ball, and took place in 1996 at a former air force base in Plattsburgh, New York. The festival was a success, drawing approximately 50,000 fans…

Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers. It touched a nerve and filled a human need that was more than a faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as…

This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
