        General Info
        Copyright 2010 Jim Thorpe Chamber of Commerce Content may not be used without permission He seemed to excel at everything: at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics he accomplished the never-to-be-duplicated feats of winning both the pentathlon and decathlon. As a football player at the Carlisle School, he was unparalleled. He played major league baseball for over 6 years, hitting.327 his last year. Recently someone discovered a ticket, hidden for decades in an old book, to a game featuring a barnstorming exhibition basketball team led by none other than Jim Thorpe. He even dazzled on the back of a horse, on the ballroom dance floor, and at bowling, where he averaged over 200. Despite his celebrity, Jim Thorpe was unassuming. At the ticker tape parade held in his honor in New York City after his Olympic victories, he is said to have remarked that he never knew he had so many friends.
