Jim Thorpe
Considered by many the greatest athlete of the 20th century, there is no denying Thorpe's versatility, as he won gold medals in the 1912 Olympics in the pentathalon and decathalon, played collegiate and professional football, and major league baseball. He played sporadically for the New York Giants for three years. Sac and Fox (on his mother's side), Thorpe's native name was Wa-Tho-Huk, meaning "Bright Path." |
