The man who broke the 4-minute-mile barrier, Sir Roger Bannister, died Saturday in Oxford, England. A class gentleman, and a fierce competitor. Rest in Peace.

"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
He is one of those people I had thought was already dead. When he broke that record it was a huge event and big, big news at the time. Now track and field is almost an afterthought and thought of as Olympic event only.
