Question:
Who has appeared on the cover of sports illustrated,time and Newsweek in the same week? person or animal?
Answers:
It was an animal its the retirement of Secretariat- The year 1973 saw sport figures at their finest. Richard Petty won the Daytona 500. The Oakland Athletics won the World Series. The New York Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers at the NBA finals. George Foreman knocked out Joe Frazier. O.J. Simpson became the first NFL player to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season. The Stanley Cup went to the Montreal Canadians. However, it was a five-week span in the spring of 1973, from May 5 to June 9, where not only the sports world, but all of America was riveted by a single sports figure that loomed above the rest. He was a figure so large, that he was on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated all in the same week, and he set more records in his wake than any other athlete. When he retired, 6,000 fans came out to say a personal goodbye in retirement, he remained as popular as ever, and long after he died, he remained the standard against which others are measured. His name was Secretariat, the winner of horseracings Triple Crown, but most Americans came to know him as “Big Red” racing fanatics called him the “Super Horse,” but the media went even further by calling him “America’s Super Horse.”
