John Charles Kucks (July 27, 1933 – October 31, 2013) was a pitcher for the New York Yankees and Kansas City Athletics in Major League Baseball. In 1952, he was signed as an amateur free agent. Johnny Kucks won the final game of the 1956 World Series between the Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers, shutting out the Dodgers, 9–0 at Ebbets Field—the last World Series game ever played in that stadium.
Born July 27, 1933, in Hoboken, New Jersey, Kucks grew up in Jersey City and played baseball at William L. Dickinson High School.
On May 26, 1959 he was traded to the Kansas City Athletics, together with Jerry Lumpe and Tom Sturdivant, for Ralph Terry and Héctor López. On October 11, 1961 he was purchased by the Baltimore Orioles from the Athletics, but on December 1, 1961 the Orioles traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals for minor leaguer Ron Kabbes; however, he never played again in the majors.
Kucks was also the last pitcher to face Jackie Robinson, striking him out for the final out of the 1956 World Series.
Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.
The founder of the organization, Salman Khan, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States to immigrant parents from Bangladesh and India. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MEng in electrical engineering and computer science), he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School.
In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.
The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) in North America, contested since 1903 between the American League (AL) champion team and the National League (NL) champion. Prior to 1969, the team with the best win-loss record in each league automatically advanced to the World Series; since then each league has conducted a championship series (ALCS and NLCS) preceding the World Series to determine which teams will advance. As of 2015, the World Series has been contested 111 times, with the AL winning 64 and the NL winning 47. The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff and the winning team is awarded the Commissioner's Trophy. As the series is played in October (and occasionally November), during the autumn season in North America, it is often referred to as the Fall Classic.
The 2015 World Series took place between the New York Mets and the victorious Kansas City Royals. Five games were played, with the Royals victorious after game five, played in New York. The final score was 7-2; the game went into extra innings after a tied score of 2-2. This was the second World Series won by the franchise and the first in 30 years.

An dem Ort von dem ich komme hört man Ratten in den Wänden,
wer von euch ist so wie ich und hält den Schwanz in beiden Händen?
Du willst mit mir teilen doch was hast du mir zu bieten? Wohin,
kannst du noch gehen wenn wir kommen um dich zu kriegen?
Ich bin, einfach cool und ihr wollt gerne mit mir feiern,
ich trainiere jeden Morgen mit Gewichten an den Eiern.
Du darfst mit mir reden doch ich schenk' dir keine Blume,
wenn du denkst ich komme nicht mehr warte ich vor deiner Schule.
Ihr seid, alles Tunten eure Eltern dumme Nutten,
ihr könnt alle vor mir stehen und ich battle euch in Gruppen.
Ich schreib' Gangster-Texte, seht mich an ich bin es wirklich, Rap,
hat rote Augen und ich fick' euch noch mit vierzig weg.
Ich kann alles, besser als ihr Toys,
ihr seht alle aus wie Punker, ich bin eins achtzig wie Royce.
Ich hol' mir, was mir gehört und danach hol' ich mir deins,
ich komm' erst aus meiner Höhle wenn die Sonne nicht mehr scheint.
(2x Chorus:)
Du behauptest du wärst Gangster, doch du bist ein Groupie,
jeder deiner arschgefickten Texte ist so schwul wie,
Nutten ohne Titten, verpiss' dich wenn ich bounce,
ich hab' gehört du willst mich ficken?
Ach was, geh' nach hause.
Nimm' die besten Alben die du kennst, wirf' sie weg denn jetzt kommt Frank
White, zwanzig Jahre alt und besser als dein Oldschool-Scheiß (shit),
Komm' beweis, du kannst mehr als ich im Leben,
jeder in deiner Gang ist schwul und will freundlich mit mir reden.
Jetzt ist Streit, komm und fighte, du willst reden, rede Scheiße,
du kannst jeden battlen doch bei Frank White bist du leise.
Wie siehst du aus? Denkst Penner sein ist Underground,
frag' nicht ob ich Gangster bin sonst brenn' ich dir dein Haus ab.
Du bist ein Spast und sagst jedem wir sind Freunde,
doch ich hasse dein' Bezirk deine Raps und deine Leute.
Ich bin King, renn, big Frank fickt dich halbes Hemd,
Ich rap weiter Action bis mich jeder von euch kennt.
Was ist jetzt, deine ganze Gang zieht Leine,
denn ich fick' Toys wie Big Noyd und zähle meine Scheine.
Ihr seid alle scheiße denn, keiner will sich boxen,
ich trag' immer meine Knarre und die Jeans steckt in den Socken.
(2x Chorus)
