15 y/o me: It’s fucking crazy that people left the most advanced civilizations in the world, sailed across an ocean on a wooden ship, then crossed an entire continent in a covered wagon—just to get a homestead and live in a log cabin, miles from the nearest small town, for the rest of their lives.
30 y/o me: Nevermind. I get it.
Depends on eras and sports. All of these athletes played 1 sport professionally. Otherwise you’re leaving out Jim Thorpe, Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders. All 3 played and were exceptionally successful in more than 1 professional sport.
Soon we’ll be getting back from Saturday a.m. breakfast, turning on the last hour & a half of gameday, lighting a candle called something like “fall festival” or “maple butter”, make a quick beer run, then settle in to watch Michigan State-Kent St. at noon.
And we’ll be happy.
