yeah the yankees and the colts.

Benson was a dodger before he was a bear.

Robinson was an amazing athlete, the biggest problem there though is the fact that most people who label "greatness" are fans like you and me. Well, maybe not like you and me, but fans. People who take a lot of what media builds people up to be and takes it as the gospel. I'd dare say half the population of the United States wouldn't know that Robinson played more than baseball.

The fact that he lettered in 4 sports at UCLA is rather overshadowed by what he did for civil rights. I think Thorpe garners a lot of attention due to the fact that he had to give up his Olympic medals and then have them re-awarded posthumously.

I don't think anyone has lettered in four sports in Division I-A since then, and I doubt they will.

Prime Time was overrated as a defensive back, center fielder, and most importantly a sports broadcaster. There is no doubt in my mind he was great, but I'd take Rod Woodson or Darrell Green over him ANY DAY.

yeah, but how many people can say they played PROFESSIONAL ball in two sports and won gold medals in a THIRD sport

Ricky Williams played two professional sports and can smoke a dimebag in a day.

Carl Crawford could have went to Nebraka to play quarterback and I think NC to basketball but he chose to stick with baseball and now plays for my beloved Devil Rays

What did Nomar play other than baseball?
You see a lot of WR's that play football also play basketball.

**imported_MoonlightGraham** · December 20th, 2005, 10:04 AM

He was a really good soccer player in high school, and during football season at Ga Tech, one of their kickers got hurt, not really sure of the whole story, but they ended up asking Nomar to walk on and kick, and he was their starting kicker for atleast one game I know of for sure and did rather well. But the athletic director informed both coaches, since he was receivin a full ride in baseball he couldn't play another sport so he had to quit.

More college football players than you might expect play college baseball also. The WR at Notre Dame is also a pitcher on the baseball team. UT has had a couple of the last few years. I am not saying that every school has someone doing it, but a lot do have people playing two sports.
