9. Stan Lee Loved the New York Yankees
A native and lifelong resident of New York City, Stan Lee was a devoted Yankees fan. He frequently wrote Yankee Stadium – located in the Bronx, where he spent much of his childhood – into his comic books. At the age of 93, he threw the first pitch for a Yankees game. Though the ball didn’t reach the plate, he said, “My heart was in it, and that’s all that matters — I had the right intention.”
