Aug. 12: Pete Sampras, 50
The retired pro tennis player known as Pistol Pete began his career at age 16 in 1988 and ended it in 2002 at the U.S. Open, where he defeated his rival Andre Agassi. Despite his stardom, Sampras has always shunned the limelight; when asked if he misses tennis, the married father of two will say, according to Sports Illustrated, “I miss the game, but I don't miss the stress of it."
