I always liked our own Lincoln Lippincott III. Just sounded so “Ivy League”. He could play, though. Since he graduated in late 60s there might be a Lincoln Lippincott IV or V out there by now!😳

Rosey Grier was always a favorite of mine.
FIFY- Of course it was Rosevelt, his proper name, known for wrestling Sirhan Sirhan, also an unusual name, to the ground after the Bobby Kennedy assassination. He later became an actor and an ordained minister.

Correct and a local legend my dad used to talk about who could punt a ball 70 yards from Edwardsville, PA... "Rockhead" Seminkosky
