世界級的運動員吉姆‧索普 (Jim
Thorpe) 於1888年5月28日出生
索普在十項全能與五項全能比賽中都贏得金牌，但是當記者揭露他曾經在小聯盟打過兩年球的事實後，他的獎牌都被取消了。不過故事還沒有結束。
在最後一年的大學球季中，索普共獲得198分，並且被選為美國最好的足球中衛。離開學校之後，他與國家聯盟冠軍隊紐約巨人隊 (Giants) 簽約，成為該隊的球員。在1913年至1929年之間，索普在各種運動之間不斷遊走，他曾打過職業棒球與職業美式足球，在他擔任足球員的時候，他已經41歲了。
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.
