NEW YORK -- Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, co-MVPs for the World Series champion Arizona Diamondbacks, now have another honor to share: They are Sports Illustrated's Sportsmen of the Year for 2001.
There have been five previous sets of co-winners: Billie Jean King and John Wooden in 1972; Terry Bradshaw and Willie Stargell in 1979; Edwin Moses and Mary Lou Retton in 1984; Bonnie Blair and Johann Olav Koss in 1994; and Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998.
Entire teams were selected twice: the U.S. Olympic hockey team in 1980, and the U.S. women's soccer team in 1999.
The issue featuring Schilling and Johnson hits newsstands Wednesday.
