Without googling it, what can you tell me about the Don getting a duck on his final innings? lol. Basically it’s what’s called stealing a base, which means he went from one position on the field to another without the ball being put in play and without being tagged out. It set a career record and they stopped the game to give him an on field speech during which he not so modestly said “today I am the greatest of all time”

Welllllllllll ya know, a few minor accomplishments here and there. Picky little details really. Generating the world's largest economy in under 200 years, leading the second industrial revolution, space race, and tech age, saving the world,,, twice. Small stuff like that ;-)

Small stuff like that ;-) Saving the world twice? You were late... twice. Space race? I think you'll find that was mainly due to German rocket scientists... Tech age? Because no other country has engineers or scientists? Oh, don't get me wrong, the US has certainly done its share, but it didn't do it in isolation or entirely by itself.

Obviously there are many great scientists and engineers around the world. I just said we led. Im half joking btw. I’m not conceited enough to think we’re all that matters. I was just playing the arrogant American part

I was just playing the arrogant American part And then tried to take all the credit? Most achievements were and are a team effort to some degree. And as I said, the US has certainly done its share, but different countries have assumed the lead in various fields of endeavour throughout Human history... right up to the present day. Yeah, I got that. That's why I went easy on you. However, you might be unpleasantly surprised if you realized the gulf between the view Americans hold of themselves and the view the rest of the Human species hold. Of course, that might well be said of most nationalities.
