Pete Rose’s Dive
Pete Rose, also known as “Charlie Hustle”, was one of the best players on the Cincinnati Reds. Have you ever seen players dive for a base headfirst? You can thank Pete Rose for the impressive slide that many (if not all) players use today. Pete was also known for being pretty reckless on the field, crashing into walls and other players regularly. During the 1970 All-Star Game, Indians catcher Ray Fosse suffered a career-altering injury because of one of Pete’s infamous dives. Pete Rose is the MLB’s all-time hits leader, a three-time World Series Champion and a 17 time All-Star. Aside from being one of the greatest, Pete is also one of the most controversial players in baseball history. He was thoroughly involved in betting on baseball, and in 1989 this resulted in a lifetime ban on the gambling.

Terry Bradshaw Flexing
This epic photo was shot as Terry Bradshaw prepared for Super Bowl XIII against the Dallas Cowboys. Terry must have been feeling prepared for the game as he had won with his team in both 1975 and 1976. Some trash talk went on between Terry and Cowboys linebacker Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson prior to the game. Thomas stated, “Bradshaw couldn’t spell “cat” if he spotted the C and the A”. Instead of engaging with Thomas, Terry decided to leave it all on the field. He ended up passing for four touchdowns, the first time this ever happened in Super Bowl history. The Steelers finished with a 35-31 victory, defeating the Rams in Super Bowl XIV and becoming the first four-time champions in league history.
