The Goats
Sports Illustrated Sportsmen of the Year
Since 1954, Sports Illustrated has given its Sportsperson of the Year award to more than 80 different people and four teams. Past honorees included players from each of the four major sports as well as Olympians, golfers, boxers, racers and tennis pros. In this remarkable four-page collection we find autographs of 66 of those athletes starting with Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Johnny Podres. Among the legends who signed these sheets are two-time honorees Tom Brady and LeBron James as well as the original GOAT, Muhammad Ali.
