Ryan: Now to sports, it is May 1st 1924 and The New York Yankees are playing against the Detroit Tigers in the newly built yankee stadium. The Yankees are ahead 4-1 and the game is about to end. It was one of the best games we have seen played by Babe Ruth. Ruth scored 3 of those 4 points and a home run was hit by Everett Scott. The yankees have had a very great season and one of the main reasons why is because of Babe Ruth. After 40 games he has already had 14 home runs! If he keeps this rate going, he will have over 40 home runs by the end of the season. Although the season is only a quarter of the way through, i believe that the yankees will be a part of the world series this year. The yankees next game will be on May 4th playing the Boston Redsox in the Yankees Stadium.
Nick: There use to be a old cowboy that went by the name old yeller he lived happily with his dog sam one day him and his dog sam went on a hike but little did the cowboy know there was a crazy mountain lion that stood at 6 feet tall and shredded anyone to pieces.

Enola Gay
Enola Gay was a boeing b-29 Superfortress bomber flown by Paul Tibbets during WW2. Enola Gay was picked out by Paul Tibbets in May 1945 while it was still on the assembly line. The plane is most famous for dropping the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and being the first plane to drop an atomic bomb. Right before the Hiroshima mission began Tibbets named the plane Enola Gay after his mom Enola Gay Tibbets, "Enola Gay" was later painted on the nose of the plane right before he took off for the Hiroshima mission. The plane flew from Titian to Hiroshima (a six hour flight) on August 6 1945 planning to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and having Kokura and Nagasaki as backup plans. The bombing went just as planned and dropped the bomb from 31,000 ft on Hiroshima at 8:15. After, Paul Tibbets flew back to the base in Tinian and ended the flight safely. Around 75,000 people were killed by the bomb while 70,000 were injured and 70% of Hiroshimas buildings were completely destroyed. Enola Gay also participated in the bombing of Nagasaki following the bombing of Hiroshima. Although Enola and Paul didn't carry the bomb on the mission, he was the weather rennisance for the mission and first saw that it was not safe to bomb Kokura and insisted to wait until the smoke from the bombing of Yawata cleared out. Paul Tibbets passed away on November 1st, 2007 at the age of 92. Enola Gay restoration started in 1984 and was fully completed in 200. Enola Gay is currently in Washington Dulles International Airport in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
