The Black Death

You have probably heard of the Black Plague, but what is it exactly? In this article, I will tell you what the Black Death was, when it started and how it started.

The Black Death, also known as the Black Plague, was a bad disease that started in about 1340. It originated in Asia but soon spread to Europe. This disease was so bad, that it killed 30-60% who got sick with it. This is an insane death rate. Think about it; The Coronavirus is starting to cause events to shut down and it’s death rate is only 3.4% right now. If the Black Death were to be here right now that could mean 2,331,138,600-4,662,277,200 dying from the Black death. That is crazy right? Now you have seen just how bad it was, lets see how it started spreading across America.

The Black Death started by fleas on mice/rats spreading this disease to humans in Asia. Many people didn’t know about it, and so they went on with their business and traveled still, getting other parts of Europe sick. The disease spread to Europe by the rats being carried on merchant boats and other ships down the Meditterainian Basin. That is how the Black Death started and spread.

That is the end of my article! I hope you learned something new or found this helpful/entertaining.

 

Some of The Best Players of MLB

There are many big prospects in MLB, but which are the best. I will show you some prospects said to be the best in the future or right now.

One of baseball’s top prospects is Mike Trout. This will probably not come as a surprise to you. I mean Mike Trout is said to be the greatest player in MLB. Is it his power? His defence? Mike has the highest WAR (wins above replacement) ever in MLB. This basically means his total contributions to his team. He makes 33.25 Million a year. As you can see Mike trout is an extremely valued player in the MLB.

Another big prospect is Christian Yelich. Yelich won MVP in 2018 and has been a nominee ever since. He won a gold glove award in 2014, and he also won silver slugger in 2016 and 2018. He has been seen as a big prospect the past few years. He makes 7 Million a year.

Cody Bellinger Is considered the number one prospect right now in baseball. This is because he is the current leader of WAR in the MLB right now. He hasn’t always been the leader though.  He makes 11.5 Million a year. Cody Bellinger Won Rookie of the year in 2017 and MVP in 2019. This is why Cody Bellinger is so valued in MLB.

Mookie Betts. This guy is rated top 5 in baseball right now. There has been a lot of news blowing up about the Mookie Betts trade. Boston is giving up their biggest prospect, Mookie Betts, to save money. What a mistake. Now the Dodgers have two of the top five players in all of baseball. What makes mookie so valuable? He won the gold glove and silver slugger and best defensive player awards in 2016. He also won MVP in 2018 and more gold glove and silver slugger awards in 2019. To add to that, he gets paid 27 million dollars a year. This is why he is so valued in MLB.

Those are some of the most valued players in the mlb. Now I will talk about some of the best duos in MLB right now. 

Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story are a big duo in MLB. Nolan Arenado is ¨the best Third baseman in the National league if not all of baseball..¨. Trevor Story should not be overlooked either. He has brought an amazing bat and great defence to the Colorado Rockies.

Another big duo of the National League is Ozzie Albies and Adeiny Hechavarria. Ozzie Albies is the fifth best second baseman in mlb, and third best in national league. Hechavarria came to Atlanta last season, and has been a great investment for the braves. He is one of the best shortstops to play the game. 

Francisco Lindor and Cesar Hernandez are a great middle infield duo. Francisco Lindor (Also known as ¨Mr. Smiles¨) alone is a 4 all star, 2x Gold Glove award winner, 2x Silver Slugger award winner, and a Platinum Glove player. Together they have been one of the best defensive duos in MLB. 

These are some of the biggest duos in MLB right now.
