PETE ROSE
Pete Rose, an American retired professional baseball player, is photographed in a Superman position diving into third base in August 1975. He is a super athlete in many ways, and he still holds the league’s all-time hits, at-bats, and outs records. With 3,562 games under his belt, Rose was the all-time leading scorer.

This photo was taken at Wrigley Field during his time with the Cincinnati Reds. Unfortunately, Pete Rose’s career was marred by betting scandals, and he was unable to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a result.
ROGER BANNISTER
Roger Bannister, a British middle-distance runner, broke the British record in the 1500m at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, two years before trying to break the mile run record. Bannister would be inspired to run “The Miracle Mile” as a result of this.

He couldn’t train as hard as he wanted because he was working as a junior doctor at the time. The goal was to run the mile in under four minutes, and while he didn’t quite meet that goal, he still managed to complete it in four minutes and 59.4 seconds. On August 7, 1954, Bannister competed in the British Empire Commonwealth Games against John Lundy. He was named the first “Sportsman of the Year” by Sports Illustrated magazine.
