Andy Oyler
Andrew Paul "Pepper" Oyler (May 5, 1880 – October 24, 1970) was an American professional baseball player who played one season in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles in . In 27 games as a third baseman, shortstop, and outfielder for the Orioles, he had 77 at-bats with 17 hits and one home run. He was born in Newville, Pennsylvania and attended Washington & Jefferson College. He batted and threw right-handed. He was small in stature and was an excellent fielder, but not a good hitter. Even so, he was difficult to pitch to, since he would crouch "pretzel-like" in the batter's box to make his strike zone smaller. He died in East Pennsboro Township, Pennsylvania. Shortest home run in history In 1953, sportswriter Jocko Maxwell published an article in Baseball Digest and item in Catholic Digest describing the shortest home run in baseball history. Maxwell described a baseball game where Oyler, as a shortstop for the Minneapolis Millers, was crouched in the batters' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chris Oyler
Christine Oyler is an American author, AIDS survivor and activist. The elder three of Oyler's four sons were born with hemophilia. Her eldest son, Ben Oyler (June 28, 1977 - July 4, 1986) and her brother Scott (died July 5, 1987), who was also a hemophiliac, died of AIDS when they were transfused with clotting factor, vital for treating their condition, that was tainted. Ben was nine years old when he died, approximately 14 months after his AIDS diagnosis. Ben Oyler was barred, like Ryan White, from attending classes at school although Oyler and her husband Grant declined to contest that ruling, preferring to preserve the family's privacy. Oyler described the family's experience of her son's illness and death under the title ''Go Toward the Light'', which was the basis for the 1988 made-for-television movie of the same name, with Linda Hamilton as a similarly situated mother. The book also includes how her faith as a Mormon helped her through this time. See also *Contaminated haem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler ( , ; 15 April 170718 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician and engineer who founded the studies of graph theory and topology and made pioneering and influential discoveries in many other branches of mathematics such as analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus. He introduced much of modern mathematical terminology and notation, including the notion of a mathematical function. He is also known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy and music theory. Euler is held to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history and the greatest of the 18th century. A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all." Carl Friedrich Gauss remarked: "The study of Euler's works will remain the best school for the different fields of mathematics, and nothing else can replace it." Euler is a ...
