Listen to “In Memoriam 2024: Sports” on Spreaker.
Our look back at the famous names and figures who passed away in 2024 continues. We started with politics and the media and our remembrances of legends in entertainment is still to come. But now, we turn to the world of sports.
We will remember some of the biggest legends in baseball history, including the man many believe is the greatest ball player of all time, another all-time great whose off the field problems got him banned from the game, and the greatest leadoff man ever.
We’ll also look at the legacy of an NBA player so great that he’s literally the logo of the league and excelled on the court and in the front office. We’ll also pay tribute to one of the greatest college players of all time and one of the best defenders.
In football, we’ll highlight the running back who was larger than life until he was charged with murder.
All those and many other greats will be remembered in this special segment.
