#2 Shohei Otani Matches Babe Ruth
Sultan of Swat, meet Shotime.
月曜日、野球選手の大谷翔平は１世紀近く見られなかった偉業を達成しました。
On Monday, baseball's Shohei Otani accomplished a feat not seen in nearly a century:
本塁打数でリーグのトップに立ち、同時にチームの先発投手としてマウンドに上がったのです。
Taking the mound as his team's starting pitcher while simultaneously leading the league in home runs.
大谷以前にそのような功績を残した選手は？
The last man staking a claim to such an effort?
ハーマン・「ベーブ」・ルース、１９２１年６月１３日の事でした。
Herman "Babe" Ruth, on June 13, 1921.
エンゼルスがテキサスでの試合で大谷を先発投手として送り出した時点で
When the Angels sent Ohtani to the bump to start the club's game in Texas,
彼は今シーズン７本の本塁打を打っていました。
he did so having hit seven home runs on the season,
７本はメジャー両リーグのトップに立つ他の７選手と並ぶ本数です。
good for a tie with seven other players atop all of Major League Baseball.
Ruth reimagined
１９２１年６月１３日 ーこちらも月曜日でしたー
On June 13, 1921-also a Monday-
ルースの１９本の本塁打は、「ザ・ベーブ」がヤンキースの投手としてマウンドに上がったとき、
そのシーズン（リーグ全体で）トップ記録となる本数でした。
Ruth's 19 dingers were good for best in baseball when "The Babe" took the hill for the Yankees.
ルースが投手として最も活躍していたのは１９１５年から１９１９年までの
ボストン・レッドソックスでプレーしたシーズンであり、それ以降はほぼ外野手に守備位置を移し、
１９３０年まで先発投手を務めることはありませんでした。
Ruth, whose most effective seasons as a hurler were spent with the Boston Red Sox from 1915 to 1919,
shifted almost exclusively to the outfield moving forward, and did not make another start until 1930.
ルースは９４勝４６敗という投手成績でキャリアを終えた一方、彼の真に見るべき記録は打席での実力です。
While Ruth finished his career with a 94-46 pitching record,
it's his prowess at the plate where his legacy lives.
大リーグでプレーした２２シーズンで、「ザ・ベーブ」は７１４本のホームランを飛ばしました。
これは歴代３位で、彼を越えるのはヘンリー・「ハンク」・アーロン（７５５本）と
バリーボンンズ（７６２本）の２人しかいません。
In his 22 big league seasons, "The Babe" belted 714 home runs, third most all-time,
behind only Henry "Hank" Aaron(755) and Barry Bons(762).
ルースが史上最高の野球選手の一人であるという認識は世界共通のものです。
Ruth is universally regarded as one of the greatest baseball players ever.
The dawn of another diamond dual threat
右投げ左打ちの大谷は２０１７年にエンゼルスに加入する前、
日本で最高峰の野球リーグである日本プロ野球で５シーズン、
オールスターゲームに選ばれるほどのプレーをしました。
Ohtani, who pitches as a righty but bats from the left side,
joined the Angels in 2017 after five All-Star seasons in Nippon Pro Baseball,
the highest level of baseball in Japan.
本塁打２２本と先発１０試合で４勝２敗を記録した２０１８年にはア・リーグの新人王に輝きます。
He earned the American League's Rookie of the Year award in 2018
after hitting 22 home runs and notching a 4-2 record in 10 starts on the mound.
彼以前に単独シーズンで少なくとも１５本の本塁打を打ち、
かつ５０イニング以上投げた最後の選手は？
The last player to hit at least 15 homers while pitching a minimum of 50 innings in a single season?
やはりこちらもベーブ・ルースで、彼はその記録を１９１９年に打ち立てました。
Once again, that would be Babe Ruth, who did so in 1919.

#4 Short Introduction
The Getty Center and Museum
The Getty Center and Museum is located in Los Angeles, California and is well known for its architecture,beautiful gardens, and views overlooking Los Angeles and, for having one of the finest collections of art in the world.
Originally the Getty Museum started in 1954 in the home of J. Paul Getty who was founder of the Getty Oil Company and one of the richest men in the world at that time.
Throughout the Getty Center campus there are numerous fountains that provide relaxing water sounds in the background.
Approximately 1.8 million people visit annually making it one of the most visited museums in the United States.
Lighthouses
There are many historic lighthouses around the United States. Lighthouses typically include a tower with a bright light at the top that serves as an important location beacon for passing ships. The very first lighthouse in recorded history was the famous Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt that was built about 280 B.C. It was 450 feet tall, similar to a 45-story building. The Northern United States has a series of five giant lakes called the Great Lakes that include Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Superior, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. There are many scenic and historic lighthouses along these lakes. I really enjoy photographing many of these beautiful and historic lighthouses when I am in the area.
The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world. It stretches for over two thousand kilometers from north to south along the coast of Queensland in Australia. It is so massive that it can be seen from space.
It is a very popular destination for scuba divers. There they can see all kinds of colorful tropical sea creatures from enormous spotted whale sharks and manta rays to sea turtles and puffer fish. Unfortunately the reef is threatened by dangers such as climate change, pollution from mining, and other human activities, but the Australian government is taking action to protect the reef.
