Baseball, by Bill James
Ever hear of a guy named Bill James? If you're a baseball fan, chances are he's changed the way your favorite team does business. He might even be the reason they got rid of your favorite player! James invented something called "Sabermetrics" - loosely defined as the analysis of baseball through objective evidence. Does it work? Since he got hired by the Red Sox five years ago, the team has won two World Series. Morley Safer breaks down the numbers.
Alex Rodriguez
A-Rod: Perhaps the best player in baseball, but also one of the most controversial. From tabloid headlines to the richest-ever baseball contract, Alex Rodriguez stands out. In a December 2007 interview, he answered tough questions from Katie Couric. Plus, Alex gave a tutorial on the science of hitting.
David Beckham
What Tiger Woods is to golf, David Beckham is to soccer. After a stellar European career, the 32-year-old Englishman signed a five-year deal last summer to play in the United States for the Los Angeles Galaxy. But David Beckham is more than just a soccer player: he and his wife Victoria, better known as Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, are a two person marketing team, selling what's known as the "Beckham Brand." Anderson Cooper has the story.
Tom Brady
Quarterback Tom Brady and his New England Patriots are well on their way to being hailed as the greatest football team ever. This season alone, Brady became the first Patriots player to win the MVP award, threw for 50 touchdowns - the most ever by a quarterback - and his team had a perfect 16-0 regular season record. Should the Patriots succeed in winning it all, they will only be the second team in NFL history to have a perfect season. Meet Tom Brady.
Roger Clemens
Of the 89 players mentioned in the George Mitchell Report on the use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball, none is bigger than Roger Clemens. There are questions now about whether Clemens cheated to enhance his record and prolong his Hall of Fame career. A former trainer, Brian McNamee, says he personally injected the pitcher with steroids and human growth hormones. Clemens denies all the accusations, in his exclusive interview with Mike Wallace.
