"For millions of American women who came of age in the 1960s and 70s, Jayne Kennedy was more than the “IT Girl”. More than a cherished role model for all women and African-American women in particular... Jayne Kennedy was an inspiration and an icon. Hers was the career, the face, the image that women from all walks of life conjured when they thought of a woman whose real life was the stuff of which Hollywood movies were made." - Laura Randolph (author).Although Jayne has always been humbled by her success, her pre-eminence in contemporary American media was solidified when she recently stood face-to-face with her photo on the wall of the prestigious Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington D.C., inducted alongside Nat King Cole, Diahann Carroll, Nichelle Nichols, Diana Ross & The Supremes and Don Cornelius in Oprah Winfrey’s Pioneers in Television and the Media Landscape exhibit.
Beginning with her Hollywood debut in 1971 as a dancer on Rowan and Martin's
Laugh-In, a singer/dancer with Bob Hope's Bases Around the World Christmas Tour entertaining troops during the Vietnam War, The Dean Martin Show 1972-75 as Dean’s singer/dancers. Hosting major TV specials; guest starring on prime-time TV, starring in pilots and films; serving as a spokesperson for major global corporations including her six years with Coca-Cola USA. And as a producer; creating, writing, and hosting her pioneering Love Your Body fitness video series that ranked #3 in sales behind Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons; producing and starring in the films Death Force and Body and Soul, for which she won the NAACP Image Award for Best Actress, filled the 70s and 80s for Jayne.
However, Jayne is best known for her ground-breaking tenure on the Emmy Award winning CBS’ The NFL Today from 1978-1980. As one of the first female sports broadcasters and the first African-American female in that role, she destroyed the myth that women could not
make it in the world of sports broadcasting. Bob Costas stated, “The NFL Today set the standard for modern sports pregame shows” and the combination of Brent Musburger, Jayne Kennedy, Irv Cross and Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder is often referred to as the best pregame show on television ever!
In February 2024, the Super Bowl pregame special, You Are Looking Live! chronicled
the history of The NFL Today featuring Brent and Jayne, won the prestigious Emmy Award. Jayne was also featured in the best-selling book, In a League of Her Own – Celebrating Female Firsts in Sports, dedicating a chapter to each of the 16 female pioneers including Billie Jean King, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Jeanie Buss.
Ms. Kennedy is the only female to host one of television’s longest running nationally
syndicated sports series, Greatest Sports Legends. She is also the first female to work ringside for menʼs professional boxing as a color announcer for Muhammad Ali Professional Sports. Jayne was also one of the very first women to host her own nationally syndicated TV sports show, The Jayne Kennedy NFL Report.
At a time when naysayers against female journalists filled every corner of the male-dominated sports world, some 40 years later the National Sports Media Association honored Jayne with their most prestigious NSMA Roone Arledge Award for Innovation in 2022. Moreover, Viacom/BET championed her as one of the "Ten Black Female Firsts in TV Journalism Around the World”.
In 2018, Black Enterprise's Women of Power Summit bestowed to Jayne the Legacy
Award. And in 2019, Jayne hosted a ‘conversation’ for the International Womenʼs Conference at the United Nations in conjunction with Athletes United for Peace moderating the “Commission on the Status of Women” panel. As Co-Executive Producer of a documentary short on her career in sports, Interception: Jayne Kennedy American Sportscaster that premiered at Marthaʼs Vineyard African-American Film Festival in 2019 and has since won multiple Best
Documentary Short awards at subsequent festivals well into 2024. Jayneʼs honors and awards are many: 2024 EMMY for You Are Looking Live, 1981 EMMY for her Rose Parade coverage; EMMY nomination for her Speak Up America segment on "Korea & the DMZ"; NAACP Image Award for “Best Actress” for Body & Soul which she also co-produced and earned a Golden Globe “Best Producer” nomination; NAACP Theater Award for “Best Producer” for her staged musical production of The Journey of the African-American chronicling 400 years of African-American history in song and dance; Dream Award’s Trailblazer Award; and while still in high school, the Miss Ohio USA crown (the first African-American to win the Ohio title) sending her to the Miss USA/Universe Pageant, landing in the top ten; and then there is her most treasured title of the American Legion Auxiliaryʼs Girlʼs Nation’s - Vice President of the United States as the Senator from Ohio.
In the early 80s, Jayne was soon recognized as the face of corporate America as one of the first Black women in global brands that are really Fortune 50! And in that role, Jayne was in high demand as a corporate spokesperson for world-class companies such as Coca-Cola (TAB and Diet Coke), Reebok, Revlon, Fashion Fair Cosmetics, Esoterica, Jovan Fragrances, Bankers
Systems and more. Teamed up with Butterick Patterns she created the Jayne Kennedy Fitness and Exercise line of patterns. And with the Children's Miracle Network Telethon as co-host for 17 years alongside Marie Osmond, Marilyn McCoo, Merlin Olsen, Jayne helped to raise $7.5B
for Children’s Hospitals across North America.
Breaking new ground is nothing out of the ordinary for Jayne. There seemed to always be a hurdle on the track as she raced through a career that brought her acclaim across many genres, which now include ‘author’, with her memoir Plain Jayne set to release Spring 2025 by Disney’s imprint Andscape, with several Hollywood offers to develop a biopic and documentary on her amazing life and career.
The word ‘pioneer’ barely describes the force of nature that is Jayne Kennedy as she
re-emerges with an irrepressible surge of creative dynamism, placing the perfect coda on a remarkable career setting the stage for... Jayne 2.0! |

"Mancow" Muller
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY!- SATURDAY ONLY 10-12 |
Click to read the full biography
"Mancow" Muller is an American radio and television personality, actor, and former child actor. Considered a shock jock, his career has been well known for controversy and clashes with the Federal Communications Commission. He is best known for Mancow's Morning Madhouse, a Chicago-based syndicated radio show, and The Mancow Radio Experience, which have been nationally distributed by Talk Radio Network. Muller also co-starred with his brother, Mark, in the reality TV series God, Guns & Automobiles, which aired on History Channel.[1] He was the host of the morning show on WLUP-FM/97.9
Muller's radio career began while he was in college. He got a job at KOKO in Warrensburg as a late night control board operator, playing local commercials during satellite broadcasts of The Larry King Show.[4 His role at the station gradually expanded until he got his own afternoon show. Among Muller's fans was the general manager of KLSI-FM, Kansas City, who offered him a full-time job as head of station promotions. Muller accepted the position, plus a weekend air shift, while completing his final semester at Central Missouri State. After graduating in 1990, Muller was hired as the morning drive air talent at Kansas City's KBEQ-FM, Q-104, where the Holy Moley & Maxx Show quickly rose to #1 in the ratings and helped Q-104 dominate the market.
After his early hometown success, Muller left Kansas City for a brief stint at KDON-FM in Salinas, California. Then he headed north to San Francisco and KYLD-FM, "Wild 107". Now going by his old college nickname Mancow, in 1993 Muller made national headlines with a publicity stunt that caused a major traffic problem for San Francisco. Reacting to a subsequently debunked story that President Bill Clinton had tied up air traffic at Los Angeles International Airport for over an hour while getting a haircut from celebrity hairstylist Cristophe aboard Air Force One, Muller staged a parody of the incident on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge during rush hour. He used vans to block the westbound lanes on the bridge while his then-sidekick, Jesus "Chuy" Gomez, received a haircut. As a result of the publicity stunt, Muller was charged with creating a public nuisance. After entering a no contest plea, his sentence included three years probation, a $500 fine and 100 hours of community service. The radio station settled a civil suit by paying $1.5 million, including $500,000 to cover three toll-free days on the bridge.
Mancow's Morning Madhouse
Main article: Mancow's Morning Madhouse
Muller accepted a job offer by Evergreen Media President Jim de Castro at more than double his salary to move to Chicago and work at "Rock 103.5" (WRCX). Muller's radio show, Mancow's Morning Madhouse, debuted in July 1994.
Originally, Muller broadcast from WRCX-FM (Rock 103.5) studios in the John Hancock Center and in 1998, moved to the city's alternative rock station, WKQX-FM (Q-101) 101.1, where the show was broadcast from the Merchandise Mart for eight more years.
Within two Arbitron ratings periods Muller took the station's 19th-ranked morning show to 5th-ranked among all teens and adults, and first among 18- to 34-year-olds. During his run on Q101, Mancow had a much publicized feud with fellow "shock-jock" Howard Stern He also had close on and off air relationships with "Crazy Howard" McGee of WGCI-FM and Mike North of WSCR. McGee and Mancow's shows ran at the same time but catered to different demographics (WGCI is an R&B and hip hop station).
Muller's Mancow's Morning Madhouse ended its live run on Emmis' Alternative outlet in Spring 2006, and had the highest rated audience in Chicago with men ages 25 to 54 (among English speaking stations). According to the Arbitron radio ratings service, Mancow's show, measured in Average Quarter Hour listening percentages (AQH) had a 5.7 share. The next closest station was all-news WBBM with a 5.3 share.
In his target demographic, men between the ages of 18 and 34 years, Mancow AQH was an 11.8 share of the audience in that age group, the highest share of any other Anglophonic station in Chicago.999, Janet Dahl, the wife of Chicago talk radio host Steve Dahl, filed a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Muller over lewd comments Muller made about her on his show. In 2001, the case was settled out of court. Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it reportedly reached seven figures.[
Between 1999 and 2004, David Edward Smith's Citizens for Community Values filed 66 indecency complaints with the FCC relating to Muller's program, leading to 6 citations and $42,000 in fines. In 2004 Muller sued Smith for harassment and business interference, but later dropped the lawsuit Emmis Communications entered into a 2004 consent decree with the FCC, agreeing to make a $300,000 "voluntary payment" to resolve the complaints; in 2006 (after Muller had ended his WKQX show), the FCC rejected Smith's challenge to this settlement.
For a full week leading up to Limp Bizkit's Summer Sanitarium 2003 concert in Chicago, Muller continually mocked the band's vocalist Fred Durst on his radio showand invited listeners to attend the concert with anti-Durst placards. When Muller's fans complied by showing up with the placards, openly taunting the singer, booing him and pelting him with refuse, Durst erupted into a profanity-laced homophobic tirade and left the stage only 17 minutes into the show. Durst was eventually sued for breach of contract (for not completing the show) by Chicago lawyer Michael Young in a class-action suit.
On October 22, 2008, WLS in Chicago announced that Muller, along with Pat Cassidy, would join that station as a weekday radio talk show host, in the 9 am to 11 am time slot, beginning on October 27, 2008. Muller continued to host his nationally syndicated morning radio program. Just four months after the debut of Mancow and Cassidy, Arbitron ratings had the show at No. 1 in the 12+ audience, and nearly doubling Chicago competitors in the male demographic as of February 2009.
On October 22, 2012, Muller began his new show, simply titled Mancow, on WPWR-TV, a live broadcast of his radio show The Mancow Experience, with co-host Teresa Cesario. In February 2013, a program called The Mancow Mashup began airing on the network, which was a half-hour program that showed highlights from the previous morning's Television show. The show's last airing was October 7, 2014 On October 9, 2014, roughly a year from when the show began airing, Muller's WPWR-TV simulcast of his radio show was confirmed cancelled after the show's contract expired, along with The Mancow Mashup. Muller confirmed that for the first time since 1985, he will be taking a break from both TV and radio. However, Muller mentioned the possibility of other ventures, including a potential movie review show.
Muller returned to the radio on Chicago's WLUP-FM radio station in February 2015 after winning a week-long audition for the station's 6–10 am weekday show.Muller's show on WLUP ended on 6 March 2018 when it was announced that WLUP had been sold to Christian radio broadcaster Educational Media Foundation.

"Mean" Joe Greene |
Click to read the full biography
Charles Edward Greene better known as "Mean" Joe Greene, is an American former professional football player who was a defensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL) from 1969 to 1981. A recipient of two NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, five first-team All-Pro selections, and ten Pro Bowl appearances, Greene is widely considered to be one of the greatest defensive linemen to play in the NFL. He was noted for his leadership, fierce competitiveness, and intimidating style of play for which he earned his nickname.
Born and raised in Temple, Texas, Greene attended North Texas State University—now University of North Texas—where he earned consensus All-America honors as a senior playing for the North Texas State Eagles. He was selected by the Steelers fourth overall in the 1969 NFL draft and made an immediate impact with the team, as he was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year. Greene is credited with providing the foundation upon which Steelers coach Chuck Noll turned the dismal franchise into a sports dynasty. He was the centerpiece of the "Steel Curtain" defense that led Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl championships in a six-year span.
Throughout his career, Greene was one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, able to overpower opposing offensive linemen with ease and disrupt blocking. Former teammate Andy Russell called Greene "unquestionably the NFL's best player in the seventies". He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame, and his number 75 jersey is one of only three retired by the Steelers. Greene is also well known for his appearance in the "Hey Kid, Catch!" Coca-Cola commercial, which aired during Super Bowl XIV and solidified his reputation as a "tough football player who's a nice guy" |

Former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén summed up the situation by saying, "If you play against him, you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a little less." Guillén also acknowledged Pierzynski's value to the club despite being relatively high-maintenance: "A.J.'s been great for me. He's worth the work because he always shows up for you."[ |

Andre Nolan Dawson (born July 10, 1954), nicknamed "the Hawk" and "Awesome Dawson", is an American former professional baseball outfielder who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for four different teams as a center and right fielder, spending most of his career with the Montreal Expos and Chicago Cubs.
An 8-time National League (NL) All-Star, he was named the league's Rookie of the Year in 1977 after batting .282 with 19 home runs and 65 runs batted in (RBI), and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1987 after leading the league with 49 homers and 137 RBI; he had been runner-up for the award in both 1981 and 1983. He batted .300 five times, drove in 100 runs four times and had 13 seasons of 20 home runs. A strong base-runner early in his career, he also stole 30 bases three times. He is one of eight MLB players with at least 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases during his career.
Dawson was a center fielder until knee problems – worsened by the artificial surface at Olympic Stadium – forced his shift to right field, followed by his move to a team which played on grass. He led the NL in outfield putouts three consecutive years (1981–1983), and won eight Gold Glove Awards for fielding excellence. Dawson was known for his incredible work ethic and study of the game. He was often seen in the dugout with a clipboard in-hand documenting pitches and pitcher tendencies. This was long before such practices were common-place and such information was readily available. Upon his retirement, his NL totals of 409 home runs and 962 extra base hits both ranked tenth in league history; he also ranked seventh in NL history in games as an outfielder (2,303), and sixth in both outfield putouts (5,116) and total chances (5,366). He set Expos franchise records for career games, at bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, runs batted in, extra base hits, total bases, and steals, all of which have since been broken variously by Tim Raines, Tim Wallach and Vladimir Guerrero.In 2010, Dawson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame

Antonio Freeman

Click to read the full biography
Antonio Freeman (born May 27, 1972) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL), most notably for the Green Bay Packers. He attended the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Virginia Tech.
Freeman was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the third round with the 90th overall pick in the 1995 NFL draft.[2] In his rookie season, he returned a punt 76 yds for a touchdown during a playoff win over Atlanta.[3] He went on to lead the Packers in receiving in four seasons from 1996 to 1999, and led the NFL in receiving in 1998.
The peak of Freeman's career occurred during his first tenure with the Green Bay Packers including a victory in Super Bowl XXXI in 1997 over the New England Patriots. During that Super Bowl, Freeman caught a then-Super Bowl record-length touchdown pass of 81 yards from Brett Favre. The record was eclipsed in Super Bowl XXXVIII when Muhsin Muhammad caught an 85-yard touchdown pass. That play would give the Packers the lead for good as they went on to win 35–21. Freeman finished the game with three receptions for 105 yards. The following year, Freeman gained over 1,200 receiving yards as Green Bay advanced to their second consecutive Super Bowl, where he caught 9 passes for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 31–24 loss to the Denver Broncos. His 230 all-purpose yards in the game was the third highest total in Super Bowl history.
In 1998, Freeman had his best NFL season, catching 84 passes for a league leading 1,424 receiving yards and earning his only Pro Bowl appearance.
During overtime of a Monday night game on November 6, 2000, despite bad weather conditions, Freeman caught what initially appeared to be an incomplete pass while lying on his side—after almost being intercepted by Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cris Dishman, the ball actually bounced off multiple parts of Freeman's body without hitting the ground. Untouched by the defender, Freeman jumped to his feet and ran the ball in for the winning touchdown over the Vikings, the Packers' rival. The touchdown prompted ABC play-by-play announcer Al Michaels, who was stunned by the play, to shout, "He did WHAT?!" In 2005, ESPN labeled the catch as the greatest play in the history of Monday Night Football. Freeman has said it was the second best catch of his career (claiming his best to be an 81-yard touchdown reception in Super Bowl XXXI).
Freeman played for the Green Bay Packers from 1995 through the 2001 NFL season. After feuding with Packers Head Coach Mike Sherman in 2001, Freeman signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. His final game in his first Packers tenure was against the St. Louis Rams during the 2001 NFL playoffs. He then went on to play a year for the Eagles in 2002 before coming back to Green Bay for the 2003 season and a second tenure with the club. His final catch with the Packers occurred on the road in December 2003 during the fourth quarter of Brett Favre's phenomenal performance against the Oakland Raiders on ABC's Monday Night Football, following the death of Favre's father. He played his final game with Green Bay in the infamous "4th and 26" debacle in the NFL playoffs against the Philadelphia Eagles in January 2004 |

His 853 RBI and 2,799 total bases in the 1960s were the most by any left-handed hitter in the major leagues.
In 1970, Williams was the runner-up in voting for the NL Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) after leading the major leagues with 137 runs, 205 hits and 373 total bases, also hitting 42 home runs with 129 RBI, all career highs; excepting his run and home runs totals, each remains the single season team record for left-handed hitters. In 1972, he was again the runner-up in MVP voting after winning the NL batting title with a .333 average, adding 37 home runs and 122 RBI while leading the major leagues in total bases and slugging percentage; in both years, he lost the award to Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds.

He was traded to the Oakland Athletics after the 1974 season, becoming a designated hitter in the American League (AL), and contributed 23 home runs and 81 RBI to finally reach the postseason as the team won their fifth consecutive division title.
When he retired, Williams' 426 career home runs and 4,599 total bases each ranked eighth in major league history among left-handed hitters; his 302 home runs as a left fielder trailed only Ralph Kiner in NL history. His 392 home runs, 2,510 hits, 1,353 RBI and 4,262 total bases with the Cubs are all team records for left-handed hitters, as were his 402 doubles until Mark Grace passed him in 1999. He led NL left fielders in assists and double plays four times each, and in putouts and fielding percentage three times each; at the end of his career, he ranked fifth in NL history in games in left field (1,737), and fourth in fielding percentage (.974), sixth in putouts (2,811) and total chances (3,005), and ninth in assists (116) in the NL after 1900.

Eric Dickerson |
Click to read the full biography
Eric Dickerson is an American former professional football player who was a running back for 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the SMU Mustangs, earning unanimous All-American honors in 1982. Dickerson was selected second overall in the 1983 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams, and later played for the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons. During his NFL career, Dickerson rushed for over 13,000 yards. He holds the NFL's single-season rushing record with 2,105 yards, set in 1984. Dickerson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and was named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time. Dickerson wore prescription goggles throughout his career due to myopia.
Initially, Dickerson shared carries with Craig James and Charles Waggoner, all three blue-chip recruits in 1979. However, the latter was hurt returning a kickoff their freshman season, leaving Dickerson and James to lead SMU's running attack, called the Pony Express. Dickerson gained 4,450 yards on 790 carries to break Earl Campbell's Southwest Conference record for yards and attempts. His 48 career touchdowns tied Doak Walker’s SMU total for career scoring. In his senior year, despite splitting time with James, Dickerson finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, behind Herschel Walker and John Elway. He was also a first-team All-American in 1982 and a second-team All-American in 1981
Before the 1983 NFL draft, the Houston Oilers said that they would draft Dickerson second if they did not make a trade. Dickerson's family opposed him playing for the Oilers — although Dickerson himself was merely cool about doing so — while, like John Elway, Dickerson would have flatly refused to play for the Baltimore Colts had they drafted him. A trade with the Oilers saw the Los Angeles Rams acquire the second pick, which they used to draft Dickerson. Although he considered going to the Los Angeles Express in the United States Football League, Dickerson ultimately decided to play for the Rams. An immediate success, he established rookie records for most rushing attempts (390), most rushing yards gained (1,808) and most touchdowns rushing (18), including another two receiving touchdowns. His efforts earned him All-Pro, Pro Bowl, Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors.
In his second season, Dickerson continued his onslaught on the NFL record book becoming a member of the 2,000-yard club. Twelve times in 1984, Dickerson gained more than 100 yards rushing, breaking the record of 100-yard games in a season held by O. J. Simpson.
His 2,105 total yards rushing beat Simpson's 1973 NFL season record of 2,003 yards (Dickerson having reached 2,007 yards after 15 games), but since the NFL expanded the regular season from 14 to 16 games in 1978, Dickerson had the benefit of playing in two additional games. No one has since rushed for more yards in a single NFL season. Dickerson's 5.6 yards per carry led the Rams to a playoff berth in 1984
Although he rushed for 1,234 yards in 1985 while missing the first two games due to a contract dispute, Dickerson missed the Pro Bowl for the first time in his young NFL career. However, Dickerson went on to rush for a playoff record 248 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in postseason play. |

Frank Edward Thomas Jr.
SATURDAY ONLY |
Click to read the full biography
Frank Edward Thomas Jr. nicknamed "the Big Hurt,"is an American former baseball designated hitter and first baseman in Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for three American League (AL) teams from 1990 to 2008, all but the last three years with the Chicago White Sox. A five-time All-Star, he is the only player in major league history to have seven consecutive seasons (1991–1997) with at least a .300 batting average, 100 runs batted in (RBI), 100 runs scored, 100 walks, and 20 home runs. Thomas also won the AL batting title in 1997 with a .347 mark. Thomas is a two-time AL MVP and won a World Series in 2005 although he was injured during the regular season and World Series. Thomas is widely considered one of the greatest right-handed hitters in MLB history.
Drafted seventh overall by the White Sox in the 1989 MLB draft, Thomas made his major league debut the following year and immediately impressed with his hitting ability. Thomas was named the AL's Most Valuable Player (MVP) by unanimous vote in 1993. That year, he became the first White Sox player to hit 40 home runs and led the team to a division title. He repeated as MVP in the strike-shortened 1994 season, batting .353 and leading the league in slugging percentage and runs. Following two sub-par seasons, Thomas lost a close MVP vote in 2000 despite posting career highs of 43 home runs and 143 RBI. Still, he was named AL Comeback Player of the Year, and Chicago finished with the AL's best record. Later in Thomas's career, a variety of foot injuries and minor ailments reduced his productivity and often limited him to a designated hitter role. In 2005, his final season in Chicago, he was limited to only 34 games after starting the year on the disabled list and then fracturing a bone in his foot close to where it was surgically repaired the previous off-season. He was unable to play in the post-season while the White Sox won the World Series that year. After leaving the White Sox, Thomas spent his last three years playing first for the Oakland Athletics and then the Toronto Blue Jays, with whom he hit his 500th home run, before returning to the A's for part of 2008, his last stop as a player. He signed a one-day contract with the White Sox in 2010, then announced his retirement.
By the end of his career, Thomas was tied for eighth in AL history for home runs (521), ninth for RBI (1,704), and sixth for walks (1,667). Among players with at least 7,000 at bats in the AL, he ranked eighth in slugging average (.555) and ninth in on-base percentage (.419). With a .301 lifetime batting average, he became the seventh player in history to retire with at least a .300 average and 500 home runs. He holds White Sox franchise records for career home runs (448), RBI (1,465), runs (1,327), doubles (447), extra base hits, walks (1,466), slugging average, (.568) and on-base percentage (.427). The White Sox retired Thomas's uniform number 35 in 2010 and unveiled a statue of him at U.S. Cellular Field in 2011. Thomas was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014 in his first year of eligibility—the first White Sox star to achieve that distinction.
Thomas was one of the few major league stars who never fell under suspicion during the performance-enhancing drugs controversies of the late 1990s. An advocate for drug testing as early as 1995, he was the only active player who agreed to be interviewed for the Mitchell Report in 2007.

Matthew De Meritt . He is known for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Deck 78 (2022) and Celebrity Chatter and Things that Matter with Elijah (2022)
He was born without legs and walked on his hands. He was only a pre-teen while being a crew-member for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). He was put inside the E.T. suit and moved for E.T. in most of the scenes where E.T. gets into the kitchen and falls over drunk
Merrit was born in 1970, making him just 11 years old when he was asked to play E.T. in some of the most significant scenes.
He detailed how he would have to portray the character from inside the 4ft rubber suit, which he described as ‘an old sausage skin’. Lovely.
He said: "There was a fitting and they took all my measurements and they filmed me walking on my hands.
“I’m not sure what they were thinking when they got me down there.
“I’d never demonstrated to anybody that I could walk on my hands, and I don’t see how they could think I could comfortably fit inside a costume and walk around and make a convincing alien – but it kind of worked out that way.”
The opportunity for the role first came up when Merrit was getting physical therapy at UCLA medical centre and his doctors were contacted by Universal Studios.
While filming, Spielberg catered the scenes to each actor, with Merrit adding: “Spielberg asked me to do all the scenes where E.T. fell over or walked awkwardly.
Any scene where they wanted E.T. to fall over, they would use me.”
That being said, he did note how the Hollywood director wanted to ‘make sure he didn’t get hurt’.
And the efforts paid off, with E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial going on to be one of the most successful movies in US history.
