Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers
Newcombe debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1949, and immediately helped the Dodgers win the pennant. He won seventeen games, led the league in shutouts, and at one stretch pitched 32 consecutive scoreless innings. He was among the first four black players to be named to the All-Star team that season, along with teammates Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella and the Indians' Larry Doby.
He was named Rookie of the Year by both The Sporting News and the Baseball Writers Association of America. In 1950, he won nineteen games, and then won twenty games in 1951. In the memorable playoff game between the Dodgers and the Giants at the end of the 1951 season, he was relieved by Ralph Branca in the bottom of the ninth inning who then surrendered the walk-off home run to Bobby Thomson.
After two years of military duty during the Korean War, Newcombe suffered a disappointing season in 1954, but returned to form in 1955 with a record of 20-5 and an ERA of 3.20 helping to lead the Dodgers to their first World Series championship in franchise history. He had an even greater 1956 season, with a 27-7 record, a 3.06 ERA, five shutouts, and was named the NL's MVP, and was awarded the first-ever Cy Young Award, then given to the best pitcher in the combined major leagues. Stan Musial claimed that Newcombe’s fastball was one of the most frightening pitches he had ever faced.

Len Dawson - star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s and 1970s
Len Dawson played for several teams during his long, successful professional career, but he is best remembered for his 13 seasons quarterbacking the Kansas City Chiefs. During that time, he led the Chiefs to the 1966 AFL Championship, then to the first ever Super Bowl the following year. Although the Chiefs lost Super Bowl I to the Green Bay Packers, Dawson would have his Chiefs back in the Super Bowl just 3 years later. Len Dawson was named as the MVP of Super Bowl IV when the Chiefs defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in January 1970. Len Dawson was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987.
