Greats Faded, Powers Fell In Past Decade in Sports
But the Yankees didn't just fall in this year. It was like the fall of Rome, it occurred over several years. The loss of men like Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizuto, Vic Rashi, Allie Reynolds and Eddie Lopat could not be balanced. And finally when Yogi Berra reached what seems like the end of the line, the empire fell.
The second of a series of 3 articles
concerning the issues and
coding with a glance to the future.
The Fall of the Yankees
The 1960's have also brought the end of an era of the one team reign in sports. These teh years saw the high flying New York Yankees take the pennant eight times. Then on their try for the ninth league championship they crumbled.
By Gabby Wilson
This was the decade in which many all-time greats passed from the sports scene and thus ended a great era in sports. All of the past greats left the scene forever. Dead were men like Jim Thorpe, Juan Fangio and Mel Ott, and the greatest woman athlete of all time, Babe Zaharias.
The ending of the 1850's brought the end of a great era in sports.
During the first few years of the 50's another great power fell, but this one was in football. The great Fighting Irish of Notre Dame began to slide until they were just another second rate team to be played.
As the Fighting Irish fell, another rising power took its place, it was Oklahoma. The Sooners ran up long victory strings against some of the better teams in the country. But one day the strings snapped. Following the big up-set a new string was started, it never got very long. The Sooners began to tumble, in fact they tumbled right out of the big team picture. The present probation has added the final touch.
The Browns Fall. Too
The Cleveland Brown's, one time undisputed champ of pro football, lost its star quarterback, Otto Graham, and slowly fell from power.
But this wasn't a period in which
In golf, greats like Ben Hogan,
Carry Middlecoff and Sam Snead
let age add a few strokes to their
scores. Soon they began to miss the
big tournaments. Then Hogan began
to play "only for the fun of it." The
other two should soon follow suit.
only teams fell, many individual stars bowed out of the limelight.
Baseball saw the most dramatic exit of any individual in the world of sports during the past ten years. Roy Campanella said good-by to baseball from the bottom of an overturned car, where he laid paralyzed from the neck down, following a one car accident on the icy streets of New York.
They Fade Away Unnoticed
They Fade Away Embodied All-time greats, Enos Slaughter, Johnny Mize, Joe DiMaggio, Ralph Kiner, Jackie Robinson and Bob Feller quietly faded from the picture, while Bobby Shantz and Robin Roberts began to lay the groundwork for their departure. And the two greatest ballplayers in modern baseball, Stan Musial and Ted Williams, begin to hint at their departure, as Old Man Time begins to catch up to them.
The athletic actors, sometimes referred to as wrestlers, rid themselves of their last honest grappler, when they suspended Don Eagle for wrestling to win and not following the script.
The boxing world saw possibly the greatest fighter of all time leave the ring battered and beaten. Joe Louis couldn't make his come-back. A young fighter named Rocky Marciano had stopped him.

The greats never seem to give up even when Old Man Time tells them it is time to quit. They are never able to bow out gracefully. They must always try for that one more big year. Try for that last come-back, just to show the fans that they aren't washed up. They never know when to quit. They never know when to give up. And it is this stubbornness, this drive, this refusal to be beaten that made them the greats that they were.
Thrice blessed are our friends; they come, they stay, and presently they go away—Richard R. Kirk
