Bob Gibson
We are not at all joking when we say that the amazing Bob Gibson changed the game. He literally did so after his amazing performance at the 1968 season. He managed to make 38 runs in 304.2 innings! The MLB decided to lower the mounds by five inches after that. As you can see, this Hall of Famer was truly a legend. He also earned two Cy Young awards, a National League MVP trophy, two World Series rings, and 251 games. He managed to do all that in a career of 17 years. He passed away on October 2.

Curly Neal
For some time in the ‘70s and ‘80s, this talented athlete showed us what he was made of as part of the Harlem Globetrotters. His shiny dome and unrivaled skills helped make Curly Neal the icon that he now is. The team went on to retire his jersey in 2008. At age 77, he passed away this March 26.
