funny you ask, i just heard that story this weekend. Bama told him he wouldn't play full time until his soph, or jr year! a couple days later auburn told him he'd start as a freshman. the rest is history.
i can't remember if i saw him in person or not?
i think was there for the wrong way bo game.

If he stuck with baseball you would have to think he would have been one of the all time greats.

Chuck,
If he had played football only and not been hurt you could say the same thing. That's why he is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

PS. You should be glad you didn't take me up on my offer of Steeler/Dolphin tickets @ the Arlington Sumwon race.

That is true but he didn't even take baseball that seriously and still was an All Star which is almost impossible to do. Have to wonder how good he could have been if he had concentrated on it.
