Summary
In 1994, Chicago manager Gene Lamont questioned the legality of Cleveland's Albert Belle's bat. It set off a wild situation. In 1912, American Jim Thorpe won Gold in the Olympic Decathlon. In 1913, the IOC stripped Thorpe of his Gold medals. In 2022, the IOC finally restored Thorpe's Gold medals to his family and recognized him to be the winner of the 1912 Olympic Pentathlon and Decathlon. In 2006, Terrell Owens claimed he was misquoted in his Autobiography.
