Jan Ullrich

The Tour de France starts this weekend, so what better time to talk a little about cycling.
Jan Ullrich is a successful professional cyclist and the first German to win the Tour de France, in 1997.  He was one of those names that you regularly saw during Lance Armstrong's heyday.  He is currently retired and his career ended with (as seems to be the case with many cyclists recently) some doping charges.

You might recall (if you watched the Tour) when he went off the road one time:



There's also a fairly long highlight video of him...riding a bike, if you're into that sort of thing [after the jump]

Richard Scarry

Richard Scarry was a children's author and illustrator, and wrote the popular Busytown series of books.  There have been a few different cartoon series adapted from them.  Below is the intro to the animated series:


After the jump is the Best Learning Songs episode.

Rickey Henderson

Rickey Henderson, the "Man of Steal," is one of the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time and my favorite baseball player growing up.  He played for over 20 years and still has the records for stolen bases (1406, current active leader is around 560), runs scored (2295, current active leader around 1846), lead-off home runs (81), single season stolen bases (130), unintentional walks (2129).  He also ranked highly in a number of other categories.  You can check out his full stats here, including some yearly rankings/awards.  They're pretty nice.

I found this highlight video of his career.

What a great ballplayer.

(update:  I just recalled that I have this jewel in my baseball cards.  If a titan of the food industry like Jimmy Dean approves, then we know Rickey's legit)

Richard Dawson

You might know Richard Dawson from Hogan's Heroes, Family Feud or The Match Game.  He died this weekend at age 79.  Here are a few videos of some Family Feud moments (before and after the jump).
