Greasy Neale is another guy that doesn't get mentioned a lot. From 1917 to 1919 he managed to play in the majors for the Reds and in the professional football league in Ohio in the same season. One of which was spent on the 1917 Canton Bulldogs coached by Jim Thorpe.
He was a member of the 1919 World Series Reds team that beat the Black Sox and eventually wound up in the College and Professional Football Halls of Fame.
