Here are a few that are not baseball. They are all OlympianS who are known for the Olympics and other endeavors.
Bill Russell - One from October, 1956 signed in California on the way to the Olympics. One signed in Melbourne at the Olympics for the manager of the dining hall the U.S. team used. I just received a third one in the mail today from Australia that was signed during the Olympics.
Spencer Haywood - 1968 before the Olympics. He is being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in September.
Jackie Fields - 1924 during the Olympics in Paris. He would become a world champion boxer as a welterweight.
Jesse Owens - 1934 at the AAU Championships in Milwaukee while still a student at Ohio State. You will see this one 'tombed' on ebay at a ridiculous price.
George Foreman - 1968 prior to the Olympics.
