世界级的运动员吉姆．索普 (Jim
Thorpe) 于1888年5月28日出生
索普在十项全能与五项全能比赛中都赢得金牌，但是当记者揭露他曾经在小联盟打过两年球的事实后，他的奖牌都被取消了。不过故事还没有退出。
在最后一年的大学球季中，索普共获得198分，并且被选为美国最好的足球中卫。离开学校之后，他与国家联盟冠军队纽约巨人队 (Giants) 签约，成为该队的球员。在1913年至1929年之间，索普在各种运动之间不断游走，他曾打过职业棒球与职业美式足球，在他担任足球员的时候，他已经41岁了。
Thorpe won gold medals in both the decathlon and pentathlon events, but when a reporter revealed his two years of semi-professional baseball, he was stripped of his medals. The story doesn't end there.
In his last college season, Thorpe scored 198 points and was voted first-string, All-American halfback. Once out of school, he signed to play baseball with the National League Champion New York Giants. From 1913 to 1929, he usually switched sports each season from baseball to football, which he played professionally until he was 41 years old.
