Us of the older generation (SC) will remember the feats of Jim Thorpe. Well, we remember reading about them. There was a good movie about his life (probably from the 50's) starring Burt Lancaster as Thorpe. I went to school with his grandson, but he was not an athelete. Actually a wise-guy, trouble-maker type. Was killed in car accident at age 13-14.

I'll agree with SC - Babe, Ali, Tiger, but not the horse.
