magazine covers
Trivia: Name the 5 individuals who appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Time and Life magazines from the inception of SI (1954) through the termination of Life as a weekly (1972).

Ali I'm sure is one. How about some guesses after that...DiMaggio, Arthur Ashe, Ted Williams, Mantle
|
covers
Mickey Mantle, DiMaggio, Campanella, Ted Williams and Yogi Berra
|
Ali is correct. There are no baseball players.
|
JFK is definitely one.
Jeff |
Roger Staubach
|
I had been unaware of JFK, which is correct. My apologies.
Staubach is right. |
Bobby Fisher
Joe Namath Sugar Ray Robinson Ali and Frazier |
I am embarrassed to say I had not done sufficient homework before posing this question. I am aware of one other correct answer -- an Olympian.
|
Tiger
Phelps Mark Spitz |
Bruce Jenner? Oh, I didn’t see the 1972 cut off with Life magazine. So it wouldn’t be Jenner. Maybe Arnold Palmer appeared on all three covers.
|
Jack Nicklaus?

With the help of these responses I have identified 7 individuals who meet the standard. All have been mentioned above: JFK, Ali, Frazier, Namath, Staubach, Fischer and Spitz. If the question were re-drawn to remove the 1954 starting date limitation, then Sugar Ray Robinson would qualify as he appeared on Time in 1951. And, I suspect there would be at least several others if question extended to include Life for its (post-1972) monthly and special issues. Nadia Comaneci, for example, appeared on a 1990 Life cover, having appeared on Time and SI in 1976.

One last correction. Baseball players omitted: Mantle, Mays, Williams and Stengel.
|
How about Billie Jean King?
