One of the best athletes I ever played with was James “Hoot” Gibson. Was an All-American LHP in college, finished 2nd in SWC in javelin throw (despite never doing it before), but above all he was also a rodeo cowboy - whenever he could sneak away and do it. Threw mid 90s but wasn’t drafted b/c of his small stature. Had a baby face so when he was 25 he made up a fake name, lied about his age, and attended an Atlanta Braves tryout camp. They signed him. Made it to AAA before they figured out who he was. Whole thing was Henry Aaron’s idea, who had been wanting to sign Hoot for years but Braves front office wouldn’t cooperate. That’s about the only story I can tell about Hoot that is suitable for this forum.
