Frank Robinson and Bill Russell Sorry, not them. Robinson and Russell were teammates on high school basketball team and Russell later was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. But, as I wrote, B became famous in other sport than he and A played together as HS teammates.

Can you give us the decade that they were in high school together, Zbi, or is that too much of a hint?

Great question! Can I make the excuse I didn’t get it because Rozelle got in the HOF because he was a commissioner, not a player?
