Ballplayers who found success elsewhere

I know you started with non-athletes but..............

John Elway...
Danny Ainge......
John Lynch....

Bob Uecker?

Tom Brady...QB New England Patriots...was originally a catcher

I played in one of the rock and jock softball games with Corbin Bernson, he was 5 for 5. with 5 home runs all over a 325 ft fence. i don't know much about his baseball past, but he had to have been a stud somewhere.

Top atheletes are often good at many sports ...

I've played pickup basketball for years with a group of local Dads, a couple were pro-level atheletes in other sports but were awesome basketball players:

- Vince Ferragamo: Rams QB ... though going for a break-away down court when Vince is guarding you is a "bad idea". No such thing as an easy basket in Vinnie's game. Vince could rain down 3's all night long and made great outlet passes.

- Dusty Dvorak: '80 '84 Olympic volleyball team and pro-beach volleyball player. Don't let him anywhere near the basket because he could jump out of the building ... and he could break you down from the perimeter. His jump was not only high, it was explosively quick ... He could put up a jump-hook, miss, go up a second time for his own rebound and put it back in while you were still gathering yourself for your first jump.

Roy Acuff - Legend of Country Music was a ball player.

Garth Brooks still suits up in spring training!

Though the man gives me the creeps to this day, Michael Bolton was/is supposedly respectable on the diamond.

How much would Michael Jackson's image be different if only his one glove was a baseball glove?
