Most famous lacrosse players

Jim Brown

He is considered by some to be the greatest NFL player in history. Rumor has it that he was even better on the lacrosse field (All-American at Syracuse). Brown appears in both the Lacrosse and the Football Hall of Fame. What a rock star—er, sports star.

Jim Thorpe 

Though Jim Brown is one of the greatest American athletes of all time, there's no dispute over who was the greatest. While attending Carlisle Indian School, Thorpe was a stellar lacrosse player. Like Brown, he has a place in both halls. Thorpe also played major league baseball for seven seasons...and won two Olympic gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon. Just doesn't seem fair.

John Kerry

Before losing to George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election, this Senator played lacrosse in college. He played junior varsity at Yale, to be exactly. Can you get any more East Coast?

Erin Burnett. This CNN anchor's athletic prowess is news to us. As an undergraduate at Williams College, she lettered in both lacrosse and field hockey. We feel like underachievers.
