1. Little
   Little Caesars is most famous for offering two pizzas for the price of one (hence the "Pizza! Pizza!" slogan). Little Caesars is ... notable for their $5.00 "Hot-N-Ready" pizza promotion, where large pepperoni and cheese pizzas are ready for pickup with no need to call ahead. The introduction of Buffalo Ranch sauce for 59 cents or two for a dollar meant for Buffalo wings didn't make any waves when first introduced. Some franchise locations choose to use $5.55 or $5.99 pricing instead.
2. Derek Jeter -- World Series
   Derek Jeter's potential has never been in question. Ever since the day the Yankees decided to bring Derek Jeter along (to soon according to some) as their everyday shortstop. Jeter has done nothing short of paying off completely. By the time he's through with his Major League career, Derek could have a championship ring for each of his 10 fingers and maybe a few of his toes. He played on his fourth World Series winner in 2000, in just his fifth season as the Yankees' shortstop. Away from the field, few players are as popular as Derek Jeter.
3. Red Sox -- World Series
   The Red Sox won the AL East for the first time in 11 seasons, prompting a playoff series against the California Angels in the AL Championship Series. The teams split the first two games in Boston, but the Angels won the next two games at their home stadium, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. With the Angels poised to win the series, the Red Sox trailed 5-2 heading into the ninth inning of Game 5. A two-run homer by Baylor cut the lead to one. With two outs and a runner on, and one strike away from elimination, Dave Henderson homered off Donnie Moore to put Boston up 6-5. Although the Angels tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, the Red Sox won in the 11th on a Henderson sacrifice fly off Moore.
4. Jackie Robinson -- World Series
   Jackie Robinson met Rachel Isum in 1940 while she was a freshman studying Nursing at UCLA. By the spring semester of 1941, Jackie had left the campus of UCLA to take a job as the athletic director for the National Youth Administration. Within the following year, he was called to serve his country in the United States Army. Robinson applied for admission to the U.S. Officer's Candidate School along with other African American draftees. Each one was denied admission due to his race. The great Joe Louis, U.S. Heavyweight Champion, was a sergeant at Fort Riley (Kansas) at the same time Robinson was there.
5. Hoot Gibson -- World Series
   Throughout his remarkable career, Dr. Gibson was the leader who brought SRI to worldwide prominence. Beginning in the early 1950s, Dr. Gibson extended the scope of SRI's operations to include research projects around the world. He organized and directed more than 80 major international conferences for senior executives in 25 countries and created the SRI International Associates Program, which included more than 800 companies in 63 countries. Dr. Gibson's extensive traveling on behalf of SRI took him throughout Europe, South America, Africa, the South Pacific, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Far East.
6. Little Rock -- Arkansas Post
   Little Rock is the seat of Philander Smith College, Arkansas Baptist College, the Univ. of Arkansas at Little Rock, and several other branches of the university, including the law and medical schools. Of interest are the beautiful Old State House, which served as capitol from 1836 to 1910 and is now a museum; several other museums, including the Arkansas Arts Center; and the Clinton presidential library. The present capitol building was built in 1911. The city ... contains several state institutions and has a noteworthy symphony orchestra. Little Rock Air Force Base is in nearby Jacksonville.
7. Black Sox Scandal -- World Series
   The Black Sox Scandal refers to a number of events that took place around and during the play of the 1919 World Series. More specifically, the name "Black Sox" refers to the Chicago White Sox team from that year. Eight members of the Chicago franchise were banned from baseball for throwing (intentionally losing) games.
8. Los Angeles Dodgers -- World Series
   As expected, the Los Angeles Dodgers not of Anaheim will officially introduce Joe Torre as their new manager during a Monday morning press conference. The storied organization rids itself of the managerial albatross that was Grady Little, and lands a future Hall of Fame manager with four World Series rings, a dead brother Rocco, and no prostate. Dodger fans, commence looting or shopping, whichever is more suitable to your income bracket. more
9. Baseball -- National League
   In North America, professional Major League Baseball teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL). Each league has three divisions: East, West, and Central. Every year, the champion of Major League Baseball is determined by playoffs culminating in the World Series. Four teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus one wild card team. The wild card is the team with the best record among the non–division winners in the league. In the National League, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules.
10. Wichita Wranglers -- Texas League
    The Wichita Wranglers, the Texas League affiliate for the Kansas City Royals, provide baseball entertainment for the entire family. Little baseball fans will enjoy Wilbur, the Wranglers mascot.
