In 2008, Chang was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. He began coaching Key Nishikori in 2014.
Michael Chang holds the distinction of being the youngest male player to win a major championship, winning the French Open title in 1989, at 17-years, 109 days old.
Chang was months away from turning 18 when he defeated Stefan Edberg to win his major title, which sent ripples throughout the tennis world, but no one should have been surprised. Chang was a prodigious junior player, winning a slew of USTA Championships as a youngster playing in older age divisions. He won the Fiesta Bowl 16s when he was 13, the USTA Boys 18s Hardcourts when he was 15, and if you dig deep into the US Open record books, you’ll find that he became the youngest men’s player in history at age 15 years, 6 months to win a match in the main draw, defeating Paul McNamee in the first round. In 1988, at 16 years, 7 months, he won his first ATP tour title in San Francisco, defeating Johan Kriek.
Aligned at the time with a burgeoning group of young American players that included Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and Jim Courier, it was the 5-foot-6 dynamo Chang who became the first to win a major singles title. Chang may not have been odds makers’ first choice, but he topped Sampras (US Open, 1990), Agassi (Wimbledon, 1992), and Courier (French, 1991) as the quickest to place his name in history as a major championship.

Jim Thome played in the major leagues from 1991-2012, earning five All-Star nods and a trip to the Hall of Fame for his trouble. While Thome is mainly known for his time with the Cleveland Indians, he later played for several other teams in the latter half of his career, including the Chicago White Sox.
His 612 home runs rank eighth on Major League Baseball's all-time list, and his 1,747 walks rank seventh.Only six players have totaled at least 1,700 walks and 1,699 RBI: Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Barry Bonds and Thome.
By 1992, Thome had made it to the big leagues. Two years later, he was Cleveland's every day third baseman.
Thome was part of a loaded Indians lineup that featured young stars like Kenny Lofton, Carlos Baerga, Albert Belle and Manny Ramirez. He hit .314 in 1995 with 25 homers and 73 RBI, helping the Indians reach their first World Series in 41 years. Over the next four seasons, the World Series title remained elusive for Cleveland, but Thome blossomed into one of the game,s best power/on-base threats.
In both the 1998 ALCS vs. New York and the 1999 ALDS vs. Boston, Thome crushed four home runs.
Following a 52-home run campaign in 2002 that saw him lead the AL in slugging percentage with a mark of .677, Thome signed a six-year free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. He hit 47 home runs in 2003 and 42 more in 2004, but missed most of the 2005 season with an elbow injury.
With Ryan Howard primed to take over first base, the Phillies traded Thome to the White Sox following the 2005 season. In Chicago, Thome hit 134 home runs over four seasons, then became a "hired bat" during his final years - playing for the Dodgers, Twins and Orioles as well as second stints with the Indians and Phillies.
When he retired, Thome had totaled 1,583 runs scored, 612 home runs and 1,699 RBI. Only seven other players in big league history - Bonds, Ruth, Williams, Manny Ramirez, Mickey Mantle, Frank Thomas and Jimmie Foxx - have at least 500 home runs, a .400 on-base percentage and a .550 slugging average. He was named to five All-Star Games and finished in the Top 10 of his league's Most Valuable Player balloting four times.
His 13 walk-off home runs are the most in history.
Thome was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2018.
