In 1914, a minor league baseball team in Baltimore, Maryland, signed a young player from the St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys—a school for delinquent boys and orphans. 

Unbeknownst to them, the wayward boy would go on to completely transform the game of baseball and become one of the most famous people in American history. 

The changes in the sport that he ushered in can still be seen today, and even 100 years later, he is still considered to be the greatest baseball player of all time.

In the 1920s and 1930s, one of the most cutting-edge and exciting forms of transportation was the zeppelin. 

Germany’s Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company created lighter-than-air airships that transported passengers millions of miles worldwide. 

This new form of transportation which seemed to be the future, came to a sudden and dramatic end on one horrific day in 1937 in New Jersey.

Thousands of years ago, the first humans accidentally created the first beer and wine. This occurred naturally when yeast in the air converted sugars into alcohol. 

However, it wasn’t until thousands of years later that new techniques were developed to process those beverages, but even then, the products they created weren’t designed for consumption. 

Eventually, these techniques were perfected to a point where they could be consumed, and they resulted in entirely new categories of beverages. 

Learn more about Spirits and Liqueurs, what the difference is, and the various types on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

By the age of 32, Alexander the Great had conquered most of the world, which was known to him. 

This episode is not about any of that. This is about what happened after his death. 

After he died, his corpse became a political football, and his tomb became the centerpiece of the city in Egypt that bared his name. Within a century, it became the largest city on Earth. 

…and then at some point, his body and his tomb just disappeared from history. 

Learn more about the corpse and the tomb of Alexander the Great and what might have happened to it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
