Cubs Fact:

Outfielder Frankie Baumholtz, a two-time .300 hitter for the Cubs in the 1950s, also played NBA basketball.

I didn't know that. Gene Conley and Dave DeBushere (sp?), both pitchers, also played in the NBA.

I believe Baumholtz finished second in the NL in batting average one year.

Fergie toured with the Globetrotters for a couple of years. It seems like all the basketball players are now tightends in the NFL.
