The Landgrave Frederick II (1720–1785) ruled Hesse-Kassel as a benevolent despot, from 1760 to 1785. He combined Enlightenment ideas with Christian values, cameralist plans for central control of the economy, and a militaristic approach toward diplomacy. He funded the depleted treasury of the poor government by loaning 19,000 soldiers in complete military formations to Great Britain to fight in North America during the American Revolutionary War, 1776–1783. These soldiers, commonly known as Hessians, fought under the British flag.
"It was really special. He’s one of the best to ever do it," Alonso said of Pujols. "He’s obviously a bona fide Hall of Famer. I’m happy he had a really good showing today." New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso embraces Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez after being defeated in the second round of the Home Run Derby at Dodgers Stadium, July 18, 2022, in Los Angeles. New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso was ousted in the semifinals of the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday night thanks to an amazing performance from Seattle Mariners rookie Julio Rodriguez. Two years ago, Alonso belted 57 home runs total, joining Aaron Judge as the only rookies ever to win the Derby. Monday, it felt like the Mets slugger might challenge that number in the first round.
Pete Alonso’s Home Run Derby win powered by one-of-a-kind bats
Since 2005, Eintracht has had a living mascot, a golden eagle named Attila from the nearby Hanau Zoo, who has currently been present at over 200 different games. With an average attendance of 47,942 since 2013 the team also boasts one of the highest attendance ratings in the world and the eighth highest out of the 36 Bundesliga and 2. The player with the highest number of appearances in the Bundesliga, Charly Körbel, spent his entire senior career as a defender for Eintracht Frankfurt. The club's primary rival is local club Kickers Offenbach, although, due to spending most of their history in different divisions, the two have only played two league matches within the last 40 years. It is best known for its football club, which was founded on 8 March 1899. The team is currently playing in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system.
He knocked out No. 23 with 20 seconds still on the clock, claiming his first win. Next up for Alonso was J-Rod, who drilled 32 home runs in the first round to dispose of the Rangers’ Corey Seager. J-Rod was trying to repeat Alonso’s 2019 feat of winning the Derby as a rookie, and after hitting 23 in his three-minute round, the Seattle All-Star added eight more in his bonus time, giving him a total of 31.
Re-Pete! Alonso bops to HR Derby history
The official club colours of red, black, and white have their origins in the colours of the founding clubs Frankfurter FC Viktoria and Frankfurter FC Kickers, which sported red and white and black and white respectively. Red and white are the colours of the city coat of arms, and black and white the colours of Prussia. When the clubs merged, officials decided to adopt the colours of both sides. Since local rival Kickers Offenbach sport the colours red and white, Eintracht avoids playing in such a kit, preferring to play in black and red, or in black and white. The club's initial games from 1899 to 1906 were played on the former Hundswiese field, whose present day location would be near Hessischer Rundfunk. From 1912 the team moved to a new ground at Roseggerstraße in Dornbusch with more facilities, before relocating to the former Riederwaldstadion in 1920 following the fusion of Frankfurter FV and Frankfurter Turngemeinde von 1861.
The 2011–12 season saw Eintracht play FSV in a league match for the first time in almost 50 years. The last league game between the two had been played on 27 January 1962, then in the Oberliga Süd. For the first of the two matches, FSV's home game on 21 August 2011, the decision was made to move to Eintracht's stadium as FSV's Bornheimer Hang only holds less than 11,000 spectators. The second match on 18 February 2012 ended in another victory for Eintracht, a 6–1 rout. The logo has evolved slowly over time, showing little significant change until 1980, when a stylized eagle in black and white was chosen to represent the team. In Eintracht's centenary year of 1999, the club decided to re-adopt a more traditional eagle logo.
Hesse
Hesse is famous for having a rather brisk style in its politics with the ruling parties being either the center-right Christian Democratic Union or the center-left Social Democratic Party of Germany . Due to the Hessian electoral laws, the biggest party normally needs a smaller coalition partner. Hesse is a unitary state governed directly by the Hessian government in the capital city Wiesbaden, partially through regional vicarious authorities called Regierungspräsidien. Municipal parliaments are, however, elected independently from the state government by the Hessian people. The CDU gained a relative majority in the 1974 elections, but the Social Democrats continued to govern in a coalition with the FDP.
The city's largest private employer is the R+V Versicherung, with about 3,900 employees, other major employers are DBV-Winterthur, the SV SparkassenVersicherung and the Delta Lloyd Group. The flag colors of Hesse are red and white, which are printed on a Hessian sack. The Hessian coat of arms shows a lion rampant striped with red and white. The official anthem of Hesse is called "Hessenlied" ("Song of Hesse") and was written by Albrecht Brede and Carl Preser . A friendship between two Eintracht fan clubs and supporters of English club Oldham Athletic has lasted for over 30 years after fans from each club met at an international football tournament. Small sections of each club's support will pay a visit to the other's ground at least once a season.
Mancini missed the 2020 season while undergoing chemotherapy for stage 3 colon cancer, treatment he finished last Sept. 21 at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The 29-year-old Baltimore Orioles first baseman hit .256 with 16 homers and 55 RBIs going into the All-Star break. His oncologist, Dr. Nilo Azad, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Camden Yards before the Orioles' hosted the Chicago White Sox last Friday night. Alonso got to witness future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols take part in the Derby for the final time. Pujols made it to the semifinals as well before getting edged by Soto.
Since approximately World War II, a spoken variety of Standard German with dialect substrate has been superseding the traditional dialects mentioned so far. This development knows a north-to-south movement, the north being early to supplant the traditional language, whereas in the south, there is still a considerable part of the population that communicates in South Hessian. In most of the areas, however, the traditional language is close to extinction, whereas until the first half of the 20th century, almost the entire population spoke dialect in almost all situations.
Alonso’s 17 home runs before the break tied him for 14th in the National League, leaving him as the No. 5 seed in the Derby’s eight-man field. Shohei Ohtani -- Alonso’s potential second-round opponent -- might have been getting all the hype, but Alonso refused to let his seeding deter him from the goal of defending his title.
Since 1925 their stadium has been the Waldstadion, which is currently named Deutsche Bank Park for sponsorship reasons. The club's original rival was Frankfurt city-rival FSV Frankfurt. In both clubs' early years, there used to be a fierce rivalry, but after World War II Eintracht proved to be the stronger club and the ways parted and the rivalry deteriorated due to lack of contact.
Also, Eintracht were the losing finalists in the 2005–06 DFB-Pokal. Their opponents in the final, that year's Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, previously qualified to participate in the Champions League. As a result, Eintracht, received the DFB-Pokal's winner's place in the UEFA Cup, where they advanced to the group stage.
The nickname Schlappekicker ("Slipper Kickers") has been around since the 1920s, when J. A. Schneider, a local manufacturer of shoes and especially slippers was a major financial backer of the club and helped propel it to national relevance. Eintracht won the DFB-Pokal in 1974, 1975, 1981, 1988 and in 2018, and took the UEFA Cup over another German team, Borussia Mönchengladbach, in 1980.
Before Statcast, the Chicago Cubs' Sammy Sosa was said to have hit one 524 feet at Milwaukee in 2002, clearing Bernie Brewer's slide. Alonso hit a first-round record 35 dingers, seven more than Josh Hamilton in 2008 at the original Yankee Stadium, and topped Kansas City's Salvador Pérez with 27. DENVER — Pete Alonso danced to his second straight Home Run Derby title, besting Shohei Ohtani, Trey Mancini and Juan Soto on a night of record long balls in the thin Rocky Mountain air of Coors Field. “In the zone,” Alonso said when asked how he felt in the first round.
The Upper Class started to speak Standard German beginning in the late 19th century, so for decades, the traditional language served as a sociolect. In the 2018 state elections the two leading parties, CDU and SPD, lost 11.3% and 10.9% of the vote respectively. The Green party, a member of Hesse's previous governing coalition with CDU, gained 8.7% .
