The Mick: Mickey Mantle

Sports Byline Classic

Mickey MantleMickey Mantle joined the Yankees in 1951 and in three years time, became the switch-hitting super power we know today as “The Mick.” Between 1954 and 1961 Mantle led the American League four times in home runs, six times in runs, and once in RBIs, the latter occurring in the year (1956) that he won the triple crown for home runs, RBI, and batting average (.353).

 

The Pioneer: Bill Russell

Sports Byline Classic

They talk about the greatest basketball players of all-time, and nowadays the conversation starts at Magic, Bird, or Jordan.  But what about Bill Russell?  Olympic Gold Medalist, two-time NCAA Champion, 11-time NBA Champion, 12-time NBA All-Star, and 5-time league MVP.  No-one in the NBA has EVER posted numbers like that.  No one.

   

Willie Mays: The Say Hey Kid

Sports Byline Classic

Willie Mays What do you say when you’re Willie Mays reflecting on a game you helped build? His credentials are impeccable: 660 home runs, 24-time MLB All-Star selection, 12-time Gold Glove Winner, and one of only 15 players to ever hit four round-trippers in one game.

When I tell them that she was one of the best car drivers I’ve ever seen, without fail they say, “like Danica Patrick?” And I laugh and say, "something like that."

   

The King of Swing: Pete Sampras

Sports Byline Classic

During his 15-year tour career, Pete Sampras built a quiet legacy of dominance in the tennis world.  With more men’s singles titles than anyone except Roger Federer, Sampras stands—by many accounts—as the greatest tennis player of all-time.
