ANSWERS
1): Joe DiMaggio won two controversial MVP awards over Ted Williams—in 1941 (by 37 votes, despite Williams' .406 average) and in 1947 (by a single vote). Although Williams' great '41 season denied DiMaggio a batting or slugging title, "Joltin' Joe" had a monster year.

He slugged .643. He led the league with 125 RBI, and hit 30 homers and 43 doubles. He scored 122 runs, collected 193 hits, and smashed 11 triples. Amazingly, he struck out only 13 times! He also posted his 56-game hitting streak and led the Yankees to a World Series title.

2): Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only one remains: the Great Pyramid of Giza. The lost wonders include the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

3): The number of casualties in America's Civil War (approximately 620,000) is by far the most. About 500,000 U.S. servicemen were killed in World War II.
