Heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey was a Mason, as was fellow boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. Golf legend (and beverage inventor) Arnold Palmer (pictured) has been a member since 1958. Baseball is heavily represented in the organization; members include Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Bob Feller, Willie Mays, and Cy Young. Hockey great Tim Horton, who founded Canada's largest fast-food restaurant chain, was part of the organization. So was basketball coach Red Auerbach and basketball's inventor, James Naismith.
