mjrbaseball Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks for all the input. I appreciate the suggestions.Just to note -- for this project I am working on, I am not including amateur (e.g., Olympics) or minor league appearances. That would amount to hundreds of athletes, and I had to -- arbitrarily, I admit -- draw a line somewhere. Only major league or equivalent actually played ... That would include AFL, Premiership football in England, NASCAR, PGA Tour, etc.Thanks to all, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgump Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 College, as in an amateur sport.He's only played football pro. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

winghaz Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm not so sure Dave Winfield played any pro basketball, even though he was a University of Minnesota star basketball player.I do know this: He was drafted in both baseball and basketball, and was drafted in football, too, despite not playing any college football.Darin Erstad didn't play pro football, but he did play on two national championship teams in two different sports -- as a World Series champ with the Angels and as a punter with the Nebraska football team. He was also a star hockey player at Jamestown (N.D.) High School. He never played high school basketball, but the basketball coach at Jamestown said he probably would have been the star player had he gone out for that sport.

ShinyHubCaps Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Shaun White in pro skateboarding and pro snowboarding... does that count? Although other people have done that, he's won gold medals in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham_Clayton Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Israel Folau - National Rugby League, Australian Football League and Super 12 Rugby - that's 3 football codes. He only needs to play in the A-League to complete the set!Ellyse Perry plays for the Australian football team and the Australian cricket team. She is the only current player who is simultaneously playing two sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Raich Carter is chiefly remembered as an Association Football player, captaining Sunderland to a League title, winning a couple of FA Cups and representing England on a nmber of occasions. He also played first class cricket a handful of times just after the Second World War, representing Derbyshire.On the other side of the coin, Ian Botham is best known as a cricketer for England and a number of county sides but he also played football for Yeovil and professionally for Scunthorpe – Scunny were a Fourth Division side at the time though and Yeovil non-League so that might not quite meet the criteria.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I watched three quarters of the ESPN 30 for 30 Bo Jackson story. This is the narrative: Bo Jackson was really good at sports.

Ian Botham's son, Liam, played cricket for Hampshire and Rugby Union for Newcastle and Leeds, and some rugby league for Leeds and Wigan. There are quite a few who've played pro soccer and cricket over the years. Jeff Wilson played cricket and Rugby Union for New Zealand. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
