"The Polish sailor who inspired the cartoon character."
"Arm wrestling 💪"
His name was Frank “Rocky” Fiegel, a sailor who was later hired as a security guard and who, without knowing it, would become one of the most iconic figures in 20th-century popular culture.
Frank Fiegel was born in Poland in 1868, but his family emigrated to the United States when he was still a child, settling in the small town of Chester, Illinois, a river port where ships sailing on the Mississippi often stopped. As a young man, he worked as a sailor, a longshoreman, and later as a security guard at a local tavern, where he was known both for his strength and his tendency to solve problems with his fists.
