Indisputable, though, is this: Paige reached the major leagues at an age when most pitchers have long stopped stressing their rotator cuffs. Also inarguable: the 6-foot-3, 180-pound right-hander is remembered as much for his witticisms as his extraordinary pitching talent and longevity.
Only four black men and women were elected to the United States Senate in all of American history â former Sens. Edward William Brooke (R-MA) and Carol Moseley Braun (D-IL) join Booker in this very exclusive group, along with President Barack Obama.
United States senators are elected by the people who live in their state. Usually, there are at least two people, or âcandidates,â who are competing against each other to have the job of senator. The candidate who gets the most votes becomes the senator. How many U.S. senators are there? There are 100 senators in Congress. Each of the 50 states has two senators, no matter how many people live in the state. Where do senators work? Each senator has an office in Washington, D.C., and offices in his or her home state.
