Jens Ingemar Johansson (September 22, 1932 – January 30, 2009) was a Swedish professional boxer who competed from 1952 to 1963. He held the world heavyweight title from 1959 to 1960, and was the fifth heavyweight champion born outside the United States. Johansson won the title by defeating Floyd Patterson via third-round stoppage, after flooring him seven times in that round. For this achievement, Johansson was awarded the Hickok Belt as top professional athlete of the year – the only non-American to do so in the belt's entire 27-year existence – and was named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year, Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year and SPORT’s Man of the Year.
Larry Sherry (July 25, 1935 – December 17, 2006) was a right-handed relief pitcher who spent most of his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1959 World Series as the Dodgers won their first championship since relocating from Brooklyn just two years earlier.
