# Greg Minton

Gregory Brian Minton (born July 29, 1951), nicknamed "Moon Man", is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) right-handed pitcher who played for the California Angels and San Francisco Giants. Minton had a 16-year major league career, from 1975 to 1990, and was a member of the 1982 National League All-Star Team.

## Career

A crippling injury in 1979 caused Minton to alter his delivery. Instead of using his high leg kick, Minton shortened his stride to take pressure off his knee. The new delivery gave Minton a 92-mph sinker that batters were unable to drive. Minton went three full seasons (2691⁄3 innings) without allowing a home run until John Stearns homered against him on May 2, 1982. As of 2024, this is the longest such streak in the period for which game-by-game data is available (since 1904). Also in 1982, Minton appeared in his only All-Star Game and finished sixth in National League Cy Young Award voting. On August 14, 1986, Minton gave up the last of Pete Rose's MLB record 4,256 career hits.
In 1989, Minton made 62 appearances in relief. He earned eight saves and a 2.20 earned run average (ERA). Over portions of 1988 and 1989, he pitched another 105+2⁄3 consecutive innings without giving up a home run, which was the longest stretch of this type by any pitcher in Angels history. He signed a one-year extension for 1990 worth $850,000. He spent much of the 1990 season on the disabled list with elbow problems, and he pitched only 15+1⁄3 innings before announcing his retirement that October.
After his career as a player, Minton was a pitching coach in the California Angels organization and managed the independent Lubbock Crickets for two years.

## Personal

Minton's nickname, "Moon Man," stemmed from various escapades such as the hijacking of the team bus and the flooding of a minor league ballpark so he could leave Amarillo one day early at the end of the season.
Minton is married to Kari Jill Granville, a Phoenix attorney and former USA Archery team member.

# 1948 Palestinian declaration of independence

The 1948 Palestinian Declaration of Independence was proclaimed by the Palestinian National Council convened in Gaza City on 1 October 1948. The declaration was recognized by Arab countries. The Arab League encouraged its member states to recognize the Palestinian government in Gaza. This was the first occasion that the Palestinians took the initiative to achieve national independence. Due to the conflicting interests of Arab nations, particularly between the Kingdom of Egypt and the Kingdom of Jordan under Abdullah I, who sought to incorporate sections of Palestine, the government quickly deteriorated, resulting in the declaration of independence becoming ineffective.

## Background

After 1948, the Palestinians became more dependent on Arab countries than ever before. Only in 1964 was a political entity, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), established that enjoyed relative independence.

## Flag

The government also approved the flag of the new state to be the flag of the Arab Revolt of 1916.

## International recognition

| Country | Date |
| Egypt | 12 October 1948 |
| Iraq | 12 October 1948 |
| Syria | 1948 |
| Lebanon | 1948 |
| Afghanistan | ? |

## Reactions

The United States Government considers the establishment of a “Palestinian Arab Government” under current circumstances to be unjust to a successful solution to the Palestinian problem as well as to the best interests of the Arab countries and the Arab residents of Palestine.

## Aftermath

In response to the Palestinian National Council, Abdullah I held a Palestinian counter-conference in Jericho on December 1, 1948. The conference adopted a resolution to unequivocally support unity between the two banks of Jordan.
On January 27, 1949, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the All-Palestine Government sent a memorandum to the General Secretariat of the League expressing its protest about the League's failure to adhere to its promise “to provide financial support in order to enable the government to perform its duties.”
As a sign of recognition, Hilmi Abdel Baqi, in his capacity as Prime Minister of the All-Palestine Government, participated in the tenth session of the League Council held in Cairo on March 17–21, 1949. However, the Arab League later refrained from inviting Ahmed Hilmi to attend the eleventh session between October 17, 1949, and February 15, 1950, mainly due to opposition to Abdullah's government in Jordan. In a memorandum sent to the General Secretariat, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its strong protest against not being invited to the League session. During 1951, the All-Palestinian Government continued to decline, as most or all of its members stepped down or found positions in Arab countries.
