Member of the 1968 National League Champion St Louis Cardinals, you missed that

[@michaelleroy9281]

First DH for the Boston Red Sox, 1973

[@robertsprouse9282]

Putting CARTY in and not CEPEDA is a flat out joke. They played ON THE SAME TEAM.. Are y’all kidding?

[@scottodonnell7121]

They had an Edgar Martinez award in 1973?? lol.

[@davidhoj]

And Now Rickey Henderson

[@DoubleHeader97]

And Bill Bergey.

[@damil65151]

I was going to say Rickey Henderson😢 I do have his rookie card. When I was working for Tower Records about 20 years ago I help him out at Tower Records I worked at and got his autograph on a Tower Records paper

[@billbishop9826]

I dont see any mention of hank foiles. The legendary catcher for the Pittsburg pirates in the fifties and sixties. Hank passed away in 2024 in newport news, va.

[@tomc2376]

The Mets family lost Bud Harrelson, Jerry Grote, and Ed Kranepool. World Series champs with long careers.

[@kennybegeske8824]

RIP Legends

[@robertsprouse9282]

Carroll Dawson was also at one time in the late-1970’s = MEN’s HEAD BASKETBALL COACH AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY in WACO, TX. He coached “THE MICROWAVE”= VINNIE JOHNSON, and recruited another future NBA’er- TERRY TEAGLE…although, TEAGLE never played for DAWSON, the latter was fired the year before TEAGLE made his debut. Both VJ AND TEAGLE turned BU hoops around. Dawson did, too, but never got the public’s credit on that. Another head coach at BAYLOR did= JIM HALLER.

[@ericanderson3836]

RIP to all those athletes featured. And to Rickey Henderson, who passed after this compilation was released. 😢

Heya, for your information, Mr. Lafayette. OJ was not convicted for murder. Let's stick to the facts, sir!

[@todd4317]

But...he was found legally responsible for the two deaths in civil court, and was ordered to pony up 33 million dollars.

[@honoriooseguera4083]

He was found liable for it

[@stevekelley7738]

Everybody knows the TRUTH !

[@josephariola8583]

So you have Johnny Goudreau on the list but not his brother Matthew?

[@michaelleroy9281]

Matthew is mentioned with Johnny 's story, read the thing before you jump to conclusions

[@todd4317]

Matthew was not a famous athlete.
