On this day in 1942, Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) was born in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1999, he was crowed “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated. Said Ali, “Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.”
