Faces in the Crowd

Faces in the Crowd

"Faces in the Crowd" is a long-running segment from "Sports Illustrated". Starting in the January 9, 1956 issue, the segment was originally titled "These Faces in the Crowd." [Sports Illustrated, December 15, 2006, p.14] The predecessor to "These Faces..." was a segment called Pat on the Back. It differed in that it did not just focus on unknown or amateur athletes. Contrary to "Faces in the Crowd", it featured professional athletes who set milestones and celebrities who undertook an athletic endeavor. From 1956 to 2006, a total of 15,672 athletes have been featured. [Sports Illustrated, December 15, 2006, page 7]
