Color and charisma fuel athletic fame across sports
Robert L. Ripley argues that Red Grange's rise to superstardom stems from vivid color and marketability rather than pure on field records. He compares Grange with other colorful athletes from boxing to baseball, noting public appeal, media cheering, and lucrative paydays as the true drivers of fame. He cites stars like Carpentier, Slattery, Cobb, and Tilden while contrasting colorless greats who lack public spark.
