Andy Roddick serves a ball on clay and it gets stuck. Fake or not? You be the judge!
In 2000, he was the future of American tennis when he was just a teenager. At 18 years 3 months he was the youngest player to end the year in the Top 200. Ranked # 1 as a junior, he won Junior Australian Open and Junior US Open without dropping a set.
In 2001 he was the youngest player in the ATP Top 20, and 2002 he finished in the Top 10. The next season (2003), he made the biggest jump in history to claim the #1 position. He finished in the Top 10 ranking for nine consecutive years having his streak stopped in 2011.
The strength of his game was his devastating serve – once timed at 155 mph and his fluent forehand.
Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians threw three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters in his career, both records at the time when he retired.

Mickey Mantle Interview by Bob Costas
DID YOU KNOW ? The New York Yankees signed Mickey Mantle to a minor-league contract in 1949, the day he graduated high school. He was paid $400 for the remainder of the season and a $1,100 signing bonus. A Yankee for his entire career, among Mantle's many accomplishments are all-time World Series records for home runs (18), runs scored (42), and runs batted in (40). He once hit a ball left-handed that cleared the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium in Detroit estimated to have traveled 643 feet. In 1956, Mantle won the Triple Crown, leading the majors with a .353 batting average, 52 HR and 130 RBI on the way to his first of three MVP awards.
