I hadn't thought of him at first because I thought he was involved in track as well as football? Mark mentioned both sports involve using a ball, so I thought maybe it was a trick question involving the shot put. I did a check, and it appears he also played MLB as well as leading the Canton Bulldogs football team to championships. Of course, this doesn't even include his Olympic medals. No wonder he was voted ABC's Athlete of the Century.
