Chris Evert defeats Tracy Austin in the 1980 US Open semifinal!
As one of the most popular American tennis players of all-time, Chris Evert won 18 Grand Slam singles and 3 doubles titles during a remarkable career that spanned most of the 1970s and 1980s. Evert won just over 90% of her career singles matches; the highest percentage ever in men’s and women’s tennis history. She never lost in the first two rounds of any Grand Slam tournament and miraculously reached at least the semifinals in 52 of 56 Grand Slam events. Chris Evert was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1995.

Satchel Paige
Satchel Paige
Satchel Paige is often referred to as the “Babe Ruth” of the Negro League. He played for over 20 years on several teams in the Negro League and was widely considered to be the league’s greatest ever pitcher. In 1948, Paige became Major League Baseball’s oldest ever rookie when he signed a contract with the Cleveland Indians. At 42 years of age, he went 6-1 for the Indians and helped led the Tribe to a World Series victory. Satchel Paige continued pitching for several more seasons in the majors, including making All Star Game appearances in 1952 and 1953 as a St. Louis Brown, at the ages of 46 and 47. He even made a brief cameo appearance at age 59 for the Kansas City Athletics in 1965. Satchel Paige was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971, the first ever inductee from the Negro League.

Tom Brady – Michigan Wolverines
Tom Brady played very little during his first two years as a Michigan Wolverine as he watched Scott Dreisbach and Brian Griese start at quarterback in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Leading up to his junior year in 1998, Brady had to battle Drew Henson for the starting job. He ultimately prevailed and went on to set Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions during the 1998 season. Tom Brady led the Wolverines to back-to-back 10 wins seasons as the team’s starter in 1998 and 1999, and was named captain of the team in his senior season. In his last game he led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama throwing for 369 yards and four touchdowns. Despite his success, Brady wasn’t picked in the 2000 NFL Draft until the 6th round. With the 199th pick the Patriots found perhaps the NFL Draft’s greatest ‘diamond in the rough’.
