Trivia: What physical injury did Theodore Roosevelt sustain while in office?
Broke three ribs
Lost a finger
Developed scoliosis
Went blind in one eye
The correct answer is Went blind in one eye
So why is this answer correct? : One of the best-kept secrets of Theodore Roosevelt’s administration was that he was blinded in one eye. Roosevelt had a habit of inviting sparring partners to the White House to box. One night, a punch in the left eye caused intense hemorrhaging and eventually detached his retina, resulting in blindness in that eye. Only a handful of his closest confidantes ever knew about it.
