This is easily my favorite childhood sports memory, and it’s not even close.
If you didn’t watch this Home Run Derby live, you’ll never truly understand.
The Venezuela earthquake disaster is/was one of the worse humanitarian disasters of the 21st century and it's barely being covered by mainstream media. 60,000+ missing. Very little aid/help given. Disgusting. It's even being reported that trafficking of orphans is occurring in the aftermath 💔
British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.
Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.
Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.
They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.
