"They are already here...they are called Hungarians!"

Did you know... the developers of the atomic bomb and nuclear engineering; the holograph; the moon and mars rovers; the Model T Ford; and Microsoft Office; the fathers of the seat belt and passive safety; binary code, BASIC and computer programming; supersonic flight and the U.S. aerospace industry; the California wine industry; the U.S. Cavalry; matches; color television; full-length motion pictures; jet propulsion, the carburetor and the automatic gearbox; the Zeppelin; and the founder of Intel Corporation are all Hungarian-Americans? And what about Joseph Pulitzer, of "Pulitzer Prize" fame? There's much more to his story. And can you believe there was a Hungarian Emperor of Madagascar? He liked to "move it, move it!"

Here are some surprises from the world of Sports! As I indicated earlier, I do get quite a bit of hate mail regarding this site and this list. Names are not added to this list until verified.

The Nobel Prize

The Nobel Prizes are the most prestigious awards given for intellectual achievement in the world. They are recognized by virtually every scientist, and they are also among the few prizes known by name to many ordinary citizens. A remarkable number of these coveted prizes have been awarded to people of Hungarian background...

The "Brain Drain" is particularly evident here as most of these winners received this distinction as nationals of other countries. Visit the Official Nobel Web Site for a complete listing of Nobel Laureates or visit a Hungarian-language site, A Nobel-díj és a magyar Nobel-díjasok. The unofficial Nobel Prize Internet Archive is also an excellent resource.

That's 18 Nobel Prizes!

George "Papa Bear" Halas - (b. February 2, 1895, Chicago, IL. d. October 31, 1983)
Legendary Hall of Fame Football Coach: Father of the NFL

Halas is the only person associated with NFL for the first 50 years; The first coach to film games; Coached Bears for 40 seasons; NFL titles (6); Record mark of 324 coaching wins that stood for nearly three decades (until surpassed by fellow Hungarian, Don Shula!)

George Halas graduated from the University of Illinois in 1918, where he starred in both football and baseball. He played for the New York Yankees in 1919, but retired because of an injury. He moved back to Illinois, where in 1920, working as recreational director for the Staley Starch Works, he formed the Decatur Staleys. Halas' Staleys went 13-1 that year with him playing end and coaching the team. That same year, Halas participated in a meeting in Canton, Ohio that gave birth to the American Football Association. A year later, the AFA became the National Football League. Halas took ownership of the Staleys in 1921 and was given $5,000 to move the team to Chicago where they became the legendary Bears. The Bear's of the early 40's used this offense to become a power house, winning back to back championships in 1940 and '41. The Bears beat the Washington Redskins in the 1940 Championship Game 73-0, the largest victory in league history to this day. Papa Bear Halas was elected as a charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio!
