George Halas Major League BB career started and ended with the Yankees in 1919. He couldn't hit a curveball. Most would say this was a "blessing
in disguise".
Of course everyone knew George as "Papa Bear". He founded the Chicago Bears in the early 1920's, was their Head Coach, and played RE. In 1925,
Halas greatly enhanced the newly formed NFL by recruiting Red Grange (from Halas' Alma Mater....Univ. of Illinois)....and, the rest is history.
