He played with distinction for the Minnesota Twins for nearly two decades. Carew dominated the sport in the 1970s and ‘80s, earning him a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Ric Flair, on the other hand, made a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling. The 16-time World Champion entertained audiences for decades with his flamboyant style and athleticism in the ring. He has since been enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame, not once but twice. The second time was when he was a part of a team, The Four Horsemen.
