Meet 'Tiny': Sumo wrestler Manny Yarbrough is the Guinness World Record holder for the title of 'world's heaviest athlete' - but he is hoping to slim down for retirement. Larger than life: Manny, who has a 76 inch waist, weighs the equivalent of more than three Usain Bolts.
Reggie White was a force on the football field. Reggie White was the Minister of Defense. A 13-time Pro Bowler, 10-time first team All Pro, two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, White starred most notably for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. On Dec. 26, 2004 -- 10 years ago Friday -- football lost one of its most beloved legends.
With the A's, he was a six-time All Star, the 1973 AL MVP, the 1973 World Series MVP, and even one of the top 10 AL base stealers three years. He was the star of the great A's team that won three straight World Series, a feat that the Yankees couldn't duplicate even when Reggie was there to stir. Sure, Reggie's fame was greatly amplified when he hit the Big Apple, and sure, he was Mr. October for the Yankees (he was no slouch for the A's in October, either).
