[Theodore Roosevelt Center @TR_Center]

#OnThisDay in 1901, Theodore Roosevelt ascended to the presidency at just 42 years old, the youngest man ever to take the office.

President William McKinley had been shot by an anarchist at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York on September 6. Although it initially appeared that he might survive, the president died of gangrene in the early morning hours of the 14th. Vice President Roosevelt, who was vacationing in the Adirondacks, was rushed to Buffalo to be inaugurated in an emergency ceremony at the home of Ansley Wilcox, a lawyer and legal scholar.

Roosevelt initially promised the public that he intended to carry out McKinley's policies and vision to the letter. Such a thing was not in Roosevelt's nature, however, and he quickly pivoted to blazing his own path. That path led him to become one of the most remarkable, powerful, popular, controversial, significant presidents in the history of the United States.

Theodore Roosevelt approached the office of the presidency with vigor and righteousness and tenacity in achieving what he believed what would bring material and moral prosperity to Americans at large. He believed at once in both strong presidential power and the power of the people. His vision was to make America a strong player on the world stage, and to lay the groundwork for America to thrive for generations. The effects of his words, actions, and policies have been strenuously debated since he first made them. Whether viewed positively, negatively, or somewhere in-between, there can be no doubt that the effects of Roosevelt's presidency have reverberated through the ages.

9/3/2020 Before their game against the Yankees, the Mets pay tribute to Tom Seaver by placing dirt on their right knees and tipping their caps to his retired number. Following J.D. Davis' game-tying homer in the ninth, Pete Alonso hits a walk-off two-run home run.

I know Gary, Keith, & Ron get a lot of love as the best booth in baseball. Which they are. I feel like us Mets fan sometimes forget how lucky we are to have @HowieRose on the radio call. As a relocated NYer there’s nothing better than listening to his call!

Howie Rose’s call of Pete Alonso’s go-ahead homer in the 9th is EPIC 🗣️
