An American woman lived to 99 despite being born with a rare condition that meant that several of her vital organs were positioned out of place, according to researchers who made the posthumous discovery.

Rose Marie Bentley lived a relatively quiet life. She raised her family in the small town of Molalla, Oregon, where she taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and earned a living selling farm and pet supplies.

Unbeknownst to Bentley, she was born with a rare condition called situs inversus with levocardia, which meant that several of her vital organs were positioned out of place. Her liver, stomach and other abdominal organs were transposed inside her body from right to left. However, her heart remained in its proper position to the left side of her chest.

But Bentley beat the odds. Her family said she lived a long, healthy life and died without ever knowing she had the condition. The only ailment she suffered was arthritis.told the Oregon Health & Science University,“She would probably get a big smile on her face, knowing that she was different, but made it through.”

Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman uses breaking balls to keep Indians guessing - Sportsnet.caMarcus Stroman took a page out of Cleveland's book and used a steady diet of breaking balls to keep hitters off balance in a loss to the Indians. (ArdenZwelling ) ArdenZwelling Doesn’t matter when the rest of the team can’t hit shit ArdenZwelling Any truth to the rumour that the new team slogan to try to get people to buy tickets is...'2019 Jays....come for the beer, stay for the flailing'? ArdenZwelling I literally don’t care what happens as long as they put the bat on the ball with runners in SP with 1 or fewer out. Its a low bar and its between the ears. DP, whatever, thems the breaks. Nothing good can come from a SO there and analytics have to go out the window
