Athlete tweets have become an athlete’s way of skipping major media altogether and communicating directly with their fans.

But the spectator in us enjoys the random comments we might otherwise never have read.
Little did you know, though, that Twitter has actually been around for almost a century now, and has only recently become mainstream. I took a little time to do some deep research, and I came up with the 10 best athlete tweets you might have missed over the past 100 years.
