Johnny Unitas spent the majority of his career playing for the Baltimore
Colts. He was a record-setting quarterback, and the National Football
League's most valuable player in 1959, 1964 and 1967. For 52 years he
held the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (which
he set between 1956–1960), until New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew
Brees broke his long standing record on October 7, 2012. Unitas was the
prototype of the modern era marquee quarterback with a strong passing
game, media fanfare, and widespread popularity. He has been consistently
listed as one of the greatest NFL players of all time.
Nicknamed "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" or "Mr. Hoover", Brooks Robinson is
considered one of the greatest defensive third basemen in major league
history. He won 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards during his career, tied
with pitcher Jim Kaat for the second most all-time for any player at
any position. Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.
