So many great stories from Kansas City Chief icon and NFL Hall of Famer Bobby Bell. An all-around athlete growing up in Shelby, NC, he went to the University of Minnesota, won a National Title, and finished third in the Heisman race despite being an interior lineman. In KC, he went to 9 Pro Bowls, never missed a game, won a Super Bowl, and redefined how the Outside Linebacker position is played.

John Franco went to 4 All Star games, was the MLB saves leader 3x, and was Reliever of the Year 2x in his iconic 22-year career. A New Yorker to the core, he went to the same HS in Brooklyn as Sandy Kofax, played college ball at St John's with Frank Viola, and then Captained the Mets (a rarity for a pitcher). When he retired, he was 2nd all-time in saves (he is still 7th), and no lefty has saved more games. Great stories from a pitching legend.
