Vic Janowicz
As long as we're remembering multi-talented athletes, please let's include Vic, who wasn't just a college football player, but rather the winner of the 1950 Heisman, at Ohio State. The guy did everything except sell tickets, running wild at halfback, playing safety on defense, and handling the punting and place kicking duties.
But he wasn't much of a major league catcher, hitting just .214 in two seasons with the Bucs.

Just a little follow up on Mike Sandlock. The Dodgers had picked up the story that John And I had Done for the pirates blog on Mr Sandlock and the Dodgers are going to honor Mike Next Saturday I believe 7/ 21/12 at Citi Field when the Dodgers play the Mets by having him throw out the first pitch on National Television for the game of the week! Way to go Mike!
At 96 years young!!!

John,
I believe he is just thrilled to death to do it! He should have a great time there!

A few photos of Emilio Navarro throwing out the first ball before a game at Yankee Stadium, September 18, 2008. At the time, he was the oldest living professional baseball player, age 102.
