Found a little sports trivia today that I found interesting--Chuck Connors' sports
career before he became an actor.
he is one of the only 12 guys to have ever played both professional basketball and MLB.
he played on the Boston Celtics very first team where he became the 1st player to ever shatter a back board.
played a game with the Dodgers and 62 with the Cubs. I saw one Montreal Royals baseball card where he hit .308 / 20 HR / 108 RBI
His famous quote about baseball I thought was pretty cool:
I owe baseball all that I have and much of what I hope to have. Baseball made my entrance to the film industry immeasurably easier than I could have made it alone. To the greatest game in the world I shall be eternally in debt.
