Enos
Slaughter's “Mad Dash”
Enos,
or Enosh,
is the first son of Seth in the Jewish and Christian Bible.
According to the Book of Genesis, Seth was 105 when Enos was
born. Enos was the father of Cainan. Enos is also mentioned in
the genealogical lists contained in the first chapter of the
Chronicles and (with respect to Jesus) in the Gospel of Luke.
Enos
Bradsher Slaughter (April
26, 1916 - August 12, 2002) was an American baseball player.
Nicknamed "Country", he batted over .300 for 19 seasons
as a Major League player, the last 13 of those seasons with the
St. Louis Cardinals.
Born
in Roxboro, North Carolina, he joined the Cardinals in 1938
before being traded to the New York Yankees in 1954.
Batting
left, and throwing right, he was renowned for a smooth, flat
swing that made him a reliable "contact" hitter.
Slaughter had 2,383 hits in his career, including 169 homers, and
1,304 RBIs in 2,380 games.
In
1946 he batted .391, and led the Cardinals to a World Series win
over the Boston Red Sox when Slaughter made a famous "mad
dash" for home from first base on Harry Walker's double in
the eighth inning of game seven with two outs and the game tied
3-3.
In
1947, the Cardinals gained notoriety by attempting to boycott
games against the Brooklyn Dodgers to protest the Dodgers'
signing of a black player, Jackie Robinson. Slaughter was the
alleged ringleader of this boycott. National League president
Ford Frick threatened to ban any players who boycotted any games,
and the boycott never happened. The Cardinals did not sign a
black regular until Curt Flood in 1958.
He
was known for running hard to first base on walks, a habit copied
later by Pete Rose.
He
was elected to the United States Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985
after a long delay.
After
battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Slaughter died at age 86.
Enos
(died November 4, 1962) was the first chimpanzee that was
launched into Earth orbit.
Enos
was purchased from the Miami Rare Bird Farm on April 3, 1960. He
completed more than 1,250 hours of training for his mission at
the University of Kentucky and Holloman Air Force Base. His
training was more intense than that of Ham, the Americans' first
chimp in space, because Enos would be exposed to weightlessness
and a higher g for longer periods of time. His training included
psychomotor training and aircraft flights.
Enos
was selected to make the first orbital animal flight only three
days before the launch. Two months before allowing a chimp to be
launched into orbit, NASA had launched Mercury Atlas 4 on
September 13, 1961, to conduct the same mission with a "crewman
simulator" in the spacecraft. Enos flew into space on board
Mercury Atlas 5 on November 29, 1961. He completed his first
orbit in 1 hour and 28.5 minutes.[1]
Enos
was originally scheduled to complete three orbits, but was
brought back after the second orbit because the spacecraft was
not maintaining proper attitude. According to observers, Enos
jumped for joy and ran around the deck of the recovery ship
enthusiastically shaking the hands of his rescuers. Enos' flight
was a full dress rehearsal for the next Mercury launch on
February 20, 1962, which would make Lt. Colonel John Glenn the
first American to orbit the Earth, after astronauts Alan Shepard,
Jr. and Gus Grissom's successful suborbital space flights.
On
November 4, 1962, Enos died of dysentery caused by shigellosis,
which was resistant to antibiotics of the time. He had been under
constant observation for two months before his death.
Pathologists reported that they found no symptom that could be
attributed or related to his space flight a year before. Enos'
remains are thought to have suffered a fate similar to those of
his astro chimp predecessor Ham. Ham is known to have been
subjected to extensive study at the Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology after his death. Some of Ham's remains, minus the
skeleton (which remained in the custody of AFIP) were buried at
the entrance to the International Space Hall of Fame in New
Mexico. Recent attempts by space scholars to determine the fate
of Enos' remains have been unsuccessful. It is known that some
post-mortem study was undertaken, but there is no further trail
beyond that, and Enos' body is assumed to have been
unceremoniously discarded after the examinations were completed.
