Recently, Bo and Deion (okay, not that recently), baseball and football
Bob Hayes (Got a Stanford related story if anyone is interested), football and Olympic sprinter. Nehemiah, too, sort of.
The Babe (not Ruth, but Didrikson) golfer and Olympic star. Think Gibson played golf, as well.
Some others:
The whiniest human ever to win an NBA championship hit a homer in the bigs at age 20?
NBA Hall of Famer who pitched a shutout in the majors?
Michael Vick was a dog-fighter. What hall of famer was a cock-fighter?
What hall of famer played for the Globetrotters?
Nehemiah played three years, had 43 catches and at least one concussion.
Always want to hear Stanford connection stories. Was Bob Hayes at the USA vs. USSR meet?
Whiniest human ever -- I thought -- was Rick Barry, but he didn't play baseball.
Ty Cobb for cock-fighting.
Wilt Chamberlain played for Globetrotters for a year.
