My sister, a Lehigh freshman at the time and already in The Big Apple for the weekend, was texting pictures of the excitement.

The History Behind Dodgers Stadium It’s funny how history repeats itself. We learn to not do a mistake twice. Christopher Columbus came ashore in 1492 and claimed the land, but generations of later Americans took it from many Native Americans already living in America.
