Robinson broke the baseball color line when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they heralded the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his 10-year MLB career, Robinson won the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award in 1947, was an All-Star for six consecutive seasons from 1949 through 1954, and won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1949—the first black player so honored.

Ebbets Field was demolished in 1960 and replaced by apartment buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDodger Stadium is a baseball park in the Elysian Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It is the home stadium of Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers. Opened 58 years ago on April 10, 1962, it was constructed in less than three years at a cost of US$23 million. It is the oldest ballpark in MLB west of the Mississippi River, and third-oldest overall, after Fenway Park in Boston (1912) and Wrigley Field in Chicago (1914), and is the world's largest baseball stadium by seat capacity.

Named in honor of the 48th state's recent admission into the union, the ship was the second and last of the Pennsylvania class of \"super-dreadnought\" battleships. Although commissioned in 1916, the ship remained stateside during World War I. Shortly after the end of the war, Arizona was one of a number of American ships that briefly escorted President Woodrow Wilson to the Paris Peace Conference. The ship was sent to Turkey in 1919 at the beginning of the Greco-Turkish War to represent American interests for several months. Several years later, she was transferred to the Pacific Fleet and remained there for the rest of her career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from a comprehensive modernization in 1929-1931, Arizona was regularly used for training exercises between the wars, including the annual Fleet Problems (training exercises). When an earthquake struck Long Beach, California, on 10 March 1933, the Arizona's crew provided aid to the survivors. In July 1934, the ship was featured in a James Cagney film, Here Comes the Navy, about the romantic troubles of a sailor. In April 1940, she and the rest of the Pacific Fleet were transferred from California to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, as a deterrent to Japanese imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArizona was bombed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. After a bomb detonated in a powder magazine, the battleship exploded violently and sank, with the loss of 1,177 officers and crewmen. Unlike many of the other ships sunk or damaged that day, Arizona was irreparably damaged by the force of the magazine explosion, though the Navy removed parts of the ship for reuse. The wreck still lies at the bottom of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial. Dedicated on 30 May 1962 to all those who died during the attack, the memorial straddles but does not touch the ship's hull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"infobox\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eName:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eArizona\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNamesake:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState of Arizona\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrdered:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 March 1913\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilder:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrooklyn Navy Yard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCost:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$16,000,000\u003csup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-1\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaid down:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 March 1914\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 June 1915\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommissioned:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 October 1916\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDecommissioned:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 December 1941\u003csup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-nvr_2-0\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStruck:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 December 1942\u003csup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-nvr_2-1\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIdentification:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHull number: BB-39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFate:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSunk during the Attack on Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStatus:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMemorial wreck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass and type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePennsylvania\u003c\/i\u003e-class battleship\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplacement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29,158 long tons (29,626 t) (standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31,917 long tons (32,429 t) (deep load)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e608 ft (185.3 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeam:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 ft (29.6 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDraft:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 ft 3 in (8.9 m) (deep load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstalled power:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 water-tube boilers;

Completed in late 1943, the ship was assigned to the Fast Carrier Task Force (variously designated as Task Force 38 or 58) in the Pacific Ocean, the navy's primary offensive force during the Pacific War. In early 1944, she participated in attacks on Japanese installations in New Guinea, Palau and Truk among others. Hornet then took part in the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign and most of the subsidiary operations, most notably the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June that was nicknamed the \"Great Marianas Turkey Shoot\" for the disproportionate losses inflicted upon the Japanese. The ship then participated in the Philippines Campaign in late 1944, and the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands campaign in the first half of 1945. She was badly damaged by a typhoon in June and had to return to the United States for repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war she took part in Operation Magic Carpet, returning troops to the U.S. and was then placed in reserve in 1946. Hornet was reactivated during the Korean War of 1950-1953, but spent the rest of the war being modernized to allow her to operate jet-propelled aircraft.

Commissioned in 1955, she was the first completed supercarrier, and was the lead ship of her class. Unlike the successor Nimitz class, Forrestal and her class were conventionally powered. The other carriers of her class were USS Saratoga, USS Ranger and USS Independence.

She was also informally known in the fleet as the \"USS Zippo\" and \"Forest Fire\" or \"Firestal\" because of a number of highly publicized fires on board, most notably a 1967 fire in which 134 sailors died and 161 more were injured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForrestal served for nearly four decades in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific.

The Tennessee class was part of the standard series of twelve battleships built in the 1910s and 1920s, and were developments of the preceding New Mexico class. They were armed with a battery of twelve 14-inch (360 mm) guns in four three-gun turrets. California served as the flagship of the Battle Fleet in the Pacific Ocean for duration of her peacetime career. She spent the 1920s and 1930s participating in routine fleet training exercises, including the annual Fleet Problems, and cruises around the Americas and further abroad, such as a goodwill visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1925.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornia was moored in Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 when the Japanese attacked the port, bringing the United States into World War II. The ship was moderately damaged by a pair of torpedoes and a bomb, but a fire disabled the ship's electrical system, preventing the pumps from being used to keep the ship afloat. California slowly filled with water over the following three days and eventually sank. Her crew suffered heavy casualties in the attack and four men were awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions during the attack. She was raised in April 1942, repaired and heavily rebuilt, and returned to service in January 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship thereafter supported the amphibious operations conducted during the Pacific War, including the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign (though she was damaged in a collision with Tennessee and thus missed the Battle of Peleliu) and the Philippines campaign, during which she took part in the Battle of Surigao Strait. She was hit by a kamikaze during the invasion of Lingayen Gulf in January 1945, after repairs, joined the fleet supporting troops fighting on Okinawa during the Battle of Okinawa. Her crew took part in the occupation of Japan after the end of the war, and after returning to the United States via the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, was laid up in Philadelphia in 1946. She remained in the fleet's inventory until 1959, when she was broken up for scrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable

She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in August 1943, Intrepid participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, most notably the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). In her second career, she served mainly in the Atlantic, but also participated in the Vietnam War. Her notable achievements include being the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission. Because of her prominent role in battle, she was nicknamed \"the Fighting I\", while her frequent bad luck and time spent in dry dock for repairs—she was torpedoed once and hit by four separate Japanese kamikaze aircraft—earned her the nicknames \"Decrepit\" and \"the Dry I\". Decommissioned in 1974, in 1982 Intrepid became the foundation of the Intrepid Sea, Air \u0026amp; Space Museum in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"infobox\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" height=\"30\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"flagicon\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/a\/a4\/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg\/54px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png\" srcset=\"\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/a\/a4\/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg\/80px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png 1.5x, \/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/a\/a4\/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg\/107px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png 2x\" alt=\"\" width=\"54\" height=\"28\" data-file-width=\"1235\" data-file-height=\"650\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eUnited States\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eName:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntrepid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBuilder:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca title=\"Newport News Shipbuilding\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newport_News_Shipbuilding\"\u003eNewport News Shipbuilding\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLaid down:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1 December 1941\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e26 April 1943\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCommissioned:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e16 August 1943\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDecommissioned:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e15 March 1974\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eStruck:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e23 February 1982\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNickname(s):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\"Fighting I\", \"Dry I\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eStatus:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Museum ship\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Museum_ship\"\u003eMuseum ship\u003c\/a\u003e at the \u003ca title=\"Intrepid Sea, Air \u0026amp;

Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be used in the war.

Built under the Washington Treaty system, North Carolina's design was limited in displacement and armament, though the United States used a clause in the Second London Naval Treaty to increase the main battery from the original armament of nine 14-inch (360 mm) guns to nine 16 in (410 mm) guns. The ship was laid down in 1937 and completed in April 1941, while the United States was still neutral during World War II. During this period, she operated off the eastern coast of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December, North Carolina mobilized for war and was initially sent to Iceland to counter a possible sortie by the German battleship Tirpitz, though this did not materialize and North Carolina was promptly transferred to the Pacific to strengthen Allied forces during the Guadalcanal campaign. There, she screened aircraft carriers engaged in the campaign and took part in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on 24-25 August, where she shot down several Japanese aircraft. The next month, she was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine but was not seriously damaged. After repairs, she returned to the campaign and continued to screen carriers during the campaigns across the central Pacific in 1943 and 1944, including the Gilberts and Marshall Islands and the Mariana and Palau Islands, where she saw action during the Battle of the Philippine Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship was undergoing a refit during the invasion of the Philippines but took part in the later stages of the Philippines campaign and was present when the fleet was damaged by Typhoon Cobra. She took part in offensive operations in support of the Battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa in 1945, including numerous attacks on Japan. Following the surrender of Japan in August, she carried American personnel home during Operation Magic Carpet. North Carolina operated briefly off the east coast of the United States in 1946 before being decommissioned the next year and placed in reserve. Stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in 1960, the ship was saved from the breaker's yard by a campaign to preserve the vessel as a museum ship in her namesake state. In 1962, the North Carolina museum was opened in Wilmington, North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e

The Minneapolis Millers minor league baseball team played at Met Stadium from 1956 to 1960. The Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings then played at the \"Met\" from 1961 to 1981. The North American Soccer League soccer team Minnesota Kicks also played there from 1976 to 1981.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe area where the stadium once stood is now the site of the Mall of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (commonly called the Metrodome) was a domed sports stadium located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. It opened in 1982 as a replacement for Metropolitan Stadium, the former home of the National Football League's (NFL) Minnesota Vikings and Major League Baseball's (MLB) Minnesota Twins, and Memorial Stadium, the former home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metrodome was the home of the Vikings from 1982 to 2013, the Twins from 1982 to 2009, the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Minnesota Timberwolves in their 1989-90 inaugural season, the Golden Gophers football team until 2008 and the occasional home of the Golden Gophers baseball team from 1985 to 2010 and their full-time home in 2012. It was also the home of the Minnesota Strikers of the North American Soccer League in 1984. On January 18, 2014, the Metrodome roof was deflated, signaling the beginning of demolition work. The Vikings played at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium for the 2014 and 2015 NFL seasons, ahead of the planned opening of U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stadium had a fiberglass fabric roof that was self-supported by air pressure and was the third major sports facility to have this feature (the first two being the Pontiac Silverdome and the Carrier Dome). The Metrodome was similar in design to the former RCA Dome and to BC Place, though BC Place was reconfigured with a retractable roof in 2010. The Metrodome was reputedly the inspiration for the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The stadium was the only facility to have hosted a Super Bowl (1992), World Series (1987, 1991), MLB All-Star Game (1985) and NCAA Division I Basketball Final Four (1992, 2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metrodome had several nicknames such as \"The Dome\", \"The Thunderdome\", and \"The Homer Dome.\" Preparation for the demolition of the Metrodome began the day after the facility hosted the final home game for the Minnesota Vikings on December 29, 2013, with actual demolition beginning on January 18, 2014. The Metrodome was torn down in sections while construction of U.S. Bank Stadium began.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stadium Pen Blanks","offers":[{"title":"JR Embedded (12.5mm \u0026 10.5mm)","offer_id":32536940839043,"sku":"MetroMetroJr","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sierra Embedded (27\/64\")","offer_id":32916653604995,"sku":"MetroMetroSierra","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5256\/0259\/products\/MetropolitanStadium_Metrodome_MinnesotaTwins_MinnesotaVikings.png?v=1584234713"},{"product_id":"brooklyn-bridge","title":"Brooklyn Bridge","description":"\u003ch1 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrooklyn Bridge embedded wood blanks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSierra Clone - 27\/64\" Blanks\u003cbr\u003eJR Set - 12.5mm Label Cap \u0026amp; Wood Lower blank\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e_______________________________________________________________________\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e____________\u003c\/span\u003e__________\u003c\/p\u003e\nAll blanks will come with one COA per blank.

Opened on May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first fixed crossing across the East River. It was also the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time, with a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) and a deck height of 127 ft (38.7 m) above mean high water. The span was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge or the East River Bridge but was officially renamed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1915.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brooklyn Bridge has an elevated promenade open to pedestrians and cyclists in the center of the bridge, located 18 feet (5.5 m) above the automobile lanes. The promenade is usually located 4 feet (1.2 m) below the height of the girders, except at the approach ramps leading to each tower's balcony.[28] The path is generally 10 to 17 feet (3.0 to 5.2 m) wide, though this is constrained by obstacles such as protruding cables, benches, and stairways, which create \"pinch points\" at certain locations. The path narrows to 10 feet (3.0 m) at the locations where the main cables descend to the level of the promenade. Further exacerbating the situation, these \"pinch points\" are some of the most popular places to take pictures. As a result, in 2016, the NYCDOT revealed plans to double the promenade's width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA center line was painted to separate cyclists from pedestrians in 1971, creating one of the city's first dedicated bike lanes. Initially, the northern side of the promenade was used by pedestrians and the southern side by cyclists. In 2000, these were swapped, with cyclists taking the northern side and pedestrians taking the southern side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePedestrian and bicycle access to the bridge from the Brooklyn side is from either the median of Adams Street at its intersection with Tillary Street or a staircase near Prospect Street between Cadman Plaza East and West.

He played 15 seasons in the NBA, winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls. His biography on the official NBA website states: \"By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.\" He was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJordan played three seasons for coach Dean Smith with the North Carolina Tar Heels. As a freshman, he was a member of the Tar Heels' national championship team in 1982. Jordan joined the Bulls in 1984 as the third overall draft pick, and quickly emerged as a league star and entertained crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, demonstrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in Slam Dunk Contests, earned him the nicknames \"Air Jordan\" and \"His Airness\". He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993, securing a \"three-peat\". Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball before the 1993–94 NBA season and started a new career in Minor League Baseball, he returned to the Bulls in March 1995 and led them to three additional championships in 1996, 1997, and 1998, as well as a then-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995–96 NBA season. He retired for a second time in January 1999 but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Washington Wizards.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJordan's individual accolades and accomplishments include six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten scoring titles (both all-time records), five MVP Awards, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA All-Star Game selections, three All-Star Game MVP Awards, three steals titles, and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. He holds the NBA records for highest career regular season scoring average (30.12 points per game) and highest career playoff scoring average (33.45 points per game). In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN, and was second to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press' list of athletes of the century. Jordan is a two-time inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, having been enshrined in 2009 for his individual career and again in 2010 as part of the group induction of the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team (\"The Dream Team\"). He became a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2015.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChicago Stadium was an indoor arena located in Chicago, Illinois that opened in 1929 and closed in 1994. It was the home of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks and the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the close-quartered, triple-tiered, boxy layout of the building, much of the loud, ringing noise of the fans could be attributed to the fabled 3,663-pipe Barton organ, boasting the world's largest theater organ console with 6 manuals (keyboards) and over 800 stops, and played by Al Melgard. Melgard played for decades during hockey games there, earning the Stadium the moniker \"The Madhouse on Madison\". For years, it was also known as \"The Loudest Arena in the NBA\", due to its barn-shaped features.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the Stanley Cup semifinals of 1971, when the Blackhawks scored a series-clinching empty-net goal in Game 7 against the New York Rangers, CBS announcer Dan Kelly reported, \"I can feel our broadcast booth shaking! That's the kind of place Chicago Stadium is right now!\" The dressing rooms at the Stadium were placed underneath the seats, and the cramped corridor that led to the ice, with its twenty-two steps, became the stuff of legend. Legend has it a German Shepherd wandered the bowels at night as \"the security team.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the 1973 Stanley Cup Final against Montreal, Chicago owner Bill Wirtz had the NHL's first goal horn installed in the building, reportedly because he liked the sound of the horn on his yacht. This practice would, in the ensuing years, become almost commonplace in professional hockey.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNancy Faust, organist for 40 years at Chicago White Sox games, also played indoors at the Stadium, at courtside for Chicago Bulls home games from 1976-84, and on the pipe organ for Chicago Blackhawks hockey there from 1985-89.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt also became traditional for Blackhawk fans to cheer loudly throughout the singing of the national anthems, especially when sung by Chicago favorite Wayne Messmer. Denizens of the second balcony often added sparklers and flags to the occasion. Arguably, the most memorable of these was the singing before the 1991 NHL All-Star Game, which took place during the Gulf War. This tradition has continued at the United Center. Longtime PA announcer Harvey Wittenberg had a unique monotone style: \"Blackhawk goal scored by #9, Bobby Hull, unassisted, at 6:13.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn 1992, both the Blackhawks and the Bulls reached the finals in their respective leagues. The Blackhawks were swept in their finals by the Pittsburgh Penguins, losing at Chicago Stadium, while the Bulls won the second of their first of three straight NBA titles on their home floor against the Portland Trail Blazers. The next time the Bulls clinched the championship at home, was in the newly built United Center in 1996 (when they did so against the Seattle SuperSonics), their second season at the new arena, and the Blackhawks would not reach the Stanley Cup Finals again until 2010 (in which they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in six games), their 16th season in the new building, although they won their first championship since 1961 in Philadelphia.

Launched in 1936, she was one of only three American carriers commissioned before World War II to survive the war (the others being Saratoga and Ranger). She participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than any other U.S. ship. These actions included the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, the Guadalcanal Campaign, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Enterprise earned 20 battle stars, more than any other ship, and was the most decorated U.S. ship of World War II. She was also the first U.S. ship to sink a full-sized enemy warship after the Pacific War had been declared when her aircraft sank the Japanese submarine I-70 on 10 December 1941. On three occasions during the war, the Japanese announced that she had been sunk in battle, inspiring her nickname \"The Grey Ghost\".

Scheduled for the first full week of April, the Masters is the first major of the year, and unlike the others, it is always held at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club. The tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour.

At the time of its completion, it was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world, with a main span of 4,200 feet and towers rising 746 feet above the water. It was later named one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction was incredibly challenging due to strong currents, high winds, and thick fog. To allow workers to build the massive suspension cables and roadway, a temporary wooden catwalk was constructed high above the water using lumber from California’s ancient redwood forests. Plank by plank, the catwalk was extended across the strait and secured against the powerful Pacific winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the bridge was finished, the historic catwalk was dismantled.

The shape of the SR-71 was based on that of the A-12, which was one of the first aircraft to be designed with a reduced radar cross-section. Mission equipment for the reconnaissance role included signals intelligence sensors, a side-looking airborne radar, and a photo camera. The aircraft was introduced to operational service in January 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSR-71 is made of 92% titanium, a metal or rutile. It was in short supply in the United States, and the Skunk Works team was forced to look elsewhere for the metal. The major supplier of the ore was the USSR. Working through Third World countries and bogus operations, they were able to get the rutile ore shipped to the United States to build the SR-71.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring missions, the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes of Mach 3.2 and 85,000 feet to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outfly the missile. A total of 32 aircraft were built; 12 were lost in accidents with none lost to enemy action. The SR-71 was retired largely due to political reasons in 1988; several were briefly reactivated during the 1990s before their second retirement in 1998.

Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it carried five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 lb. When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thunderbolt was effective as a short-to medium-range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and ground attack in both the European and Pacific theaters.

The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a design team headed by James Kindelberger of North American Aviation in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The Purchasing Commission approached North American Aviation to build Curtiss P-40 fighters, but North American Aviation proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66 and was armed with six .50 caliber AN\/M2 Browning machine guns. P-51s were used by the USAAF's Eighth Air Force to escort bombers in raids over Germany. The RAF's Second Tactical Air Force and the USAAF's Ninth Air Force used the Merlin-powered Mustangs as fighter-bombers to ensure Allied air superiority in 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-51 was also used by Allied air forces in the North African, Mediterranean, Italian and Pacific theaters. During World War II, Mustang pilots claimed to have destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Korean War, the Mustang had been redesignated F-51. It was the main fighter of the United States until jet fighters like North American's F-86 took over this role. The Mustang then became a specialized fighter-bomber. Despite the advent of jet fighters, the Mustang remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s. After the Korean War, Mustangs became popular civilian warbirds and air racing aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese blanks are made using original aluminum from USAAF P-51D Mustang, serial number 44-14379. This P-51D 'Little Doc' was engaged in aerial combat with four German Me 262 jet fighters on April 5, 1945. After damaging one 262, Lt. Cowley in 'Little Doc' was hit, and Cowley bailed out. Though wounded, Cowley landed safely in Belgium and returned to his unit. This aircraft was excavated in 2006. The material is certified and distributed by Hardin Penworks, LLC.

It was the first aircraft to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. The NC designation was derived from the collaborative efforts of the Navy and Curtiss. The NC series flying boats were designed to meet wartime needs, and after the end of World War I they were sent overseas to validate the design concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft was designed by Glenn Curtiss and his team, and manufactured by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, with the hull built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Corporation in Bristol, Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn May 1919, a crew of United States Navy aviators flew the NC-4 from New York State to Lisbon, Portugal, over the course of 19 days. This included time for stops of numerous repairs and for crewmen's rest, with stops along the way in Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and twice in the Azores Islands. Then its flight from the Azores to Lisbon completed the first transatlantic flight between North America and Europe, and two more flights from Lisbon to northwestern Spain to Plymouth, England, completed the first flight between North America and Great Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transatlantic capability of the NC-4 was the result of developments in aviation that began before World War I. In 1908, Glenn Curtiss had experimented unsuccessfully with floats on the airframe of an early June Bug craft, but his first successful takeoff from water was not carried out until 1911, with an A-1 airplane fitted with a central pontoon. After World War I ended, Curtis and the Navy had built a set of four identical aircraft, the NC-1, NC-2, NC-3 and the NC-4, the U.S. Navy's first series of four Curtiss NC floatplanes made for the Navy by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. The NC-4 made its first test flight on 30 April 1919.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese blanks are made from original wing fabric from the Curtis NC-4 Flying Boat. The NC-4 is property of the Smithsonian Institution, since it was given to that institution by the Navy after it was dissembled and returned home from its transatlantic flight.

The tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour.

Though ready for launch by 1825, she remained on the stocks for preservation to avoid the expense of manning and maintaining a ship of the line. She was renamed New Hampshire on 28 October 1863 and launched on 23 April 1864. She was fitted out as a storeship and depot ship of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, and commissioned on 13 May 1864, Commodore Henry K. Thatcher in command.

Rodgers' Wright EX biplane was named the Vin Fiz after his sponsor's grape soda product. He left Sheepshead Bay, NY, on September 17, 1911. A \"hangar\" car, a rolling workshop filled with spare parts to repair and maintain the airplane, followed along. The flight was broken up by numerous stops, delays, and accidents. When Hearst's 30-day time limit expired, Rodgers had only reached Kansas City, MO, but Rodgers was determined to complete his flight whether he received the prize money or not. He arrived in Pasadena, CA, 49 days after setting out from NY. Although Pasadena was the official end of the coast-to-coast journey, Rodgers flew on to Long Beach to complete the flight at the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The total distance covered was 4,321 miles in 82 hours and 4 minutes total flying time at an average speed of 51.5 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the Vin Fiz endorsement, Rodgers’ wife Mabel Rodgers used the flight to promote an airmail service.

The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eP-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps gave the plane, and after June 1941, the USAAF adopted the name for all models, making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eP-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941. No. 112 Squadron Royal Air Force, was among the first to operate Tomahawks in North Africa and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit to feature the \"shark mouth\" logo, copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe P-40's lack of a two-speed supercharger made it inferior to Luftwaffe fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in high-altitude combat and it was rarely used in operations in Northwest Europe. However, between 1941 and 1944, the P-40 played a critical role with Allied air forces in three major theaters: North Africa, the Southwest Pacific, and China. It also had a significant role in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Alaska and Italy. The P-40's performance at high altitudes was not as important in those theaters, where it served as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter-bomber. Although it gained a postwar reputation as a mediocre design, suitable only for close air support, more recent research including scrutiny of the records of individual Allied squadrons indicates that this was not the case: the P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses, but also inflicting a very heavy toll on enemy aircraft.[9] Based on war-time victory claims, over 200 Allied fighter pilots – from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, the US and the Soviet Union – became aces flying the P-40. These included at least 20 double aces, mostly over North Africa, China, Burma and India, the South West Pacific and Eastern Europe. The P-40 offered the additional advantages of low cost and durability, which kept it in production as a ground-attack aircraft long after it was obsolescent as a fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stadium Pen Blanks","offers":[{"title":"Sierra Clone 27\/64\" Tube","offer_id":42143667290345,"sku":"P40-Sierra","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom Tube Size","offer_id":42143667323113,"sku":"P40-Custom","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolt Action 3\/8\" tube","offer_id":42143667355881,"sku":"P40-Bolt","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5256\/0259\/files\/WEB-P-40Warhawk.png?v=1751777788"},{"product_id":"raf-supermarine-spitfire","title":"RAF Supermarine Spitfire","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSierra and Bolt embedded blanks with WWII \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRAF Supermarine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"il\"\u003eSpitfire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e propeller wood and wing cloth\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"product-template-hr\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAll blanks will come with one COA per blank. \u003cbr\u003eCOAs are 4\" x 6\" card stock with foil COA seal.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"product-template-hr\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rolls-Royce Griffon engine was designed in answer to Royal Naval specifications for an engine capable of generating good power at low altitudes.

They formed the 332d Expeditionary Operations Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Griel Field, Kennedy Field, Moton Field, Shorter Field and the Tuskegee Army Air Fields. They were educated at the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), located near Tuskegee, Alabama. Of the 922 pilots, five were Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot was from Trinidad. It also included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 99th Pursuit Squadron (later the 99th Fighter Squadron) was the first black flying squadron, and the first to deploy overseas (to North Africa in April 1943, and later to Sicily and other parts of Italy). The 332nd Fighter Group, which originally included the 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, was the first black flying group. It deployed to Italy in early 1944. Although the 477th Bombardment Group trained with North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, they never served in combat. In June 1944, the 332nd Fighter Group began flying heavy bomber escort missions and, in July 1944, with the addition of the 99th Fighter Squadron, it had four fighter squadrons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 99th Fighter Squadron was initially equipped with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter-bomber aircraft. The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June–July 1944) and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s red, the nickname \"Red Tails\" was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder; the P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to discrimination, both within and outside the army.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stadium Pen Blanks","offers":[{"title":"Sierra Clone kit (27\/64\")","offer_id":42156950782185,"sku":"TuskegeeAirmen-Sierra","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Custom Tube Size","offer_id":42156950814953,"sku":"TuskegeeAirmen-Custom","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PSI Bolt Action kit (3\/8\" Tube)","offer_id":42156950847721,"sku":"TuskegeeAirmen-Bolt","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5256\/0259\/products\/TuskegeeAirmenStamp.png?v=1638381753"},{"product_id":"james-lebron-23-game-played-relic","title":"James, LeBron #23 - Game Played Relic","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThese blanks contain game used jersey from  LeBron James and Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse\u003cstrong\u003e basketball court flooring. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe blanks are label cast  embedded \u003cstrong\u003eJR Caps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epaired with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewooden short blanks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe jersey relic was pulled from a collector card with certified game played jersey swatch from  LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers uniform.
