In a sports world where specialization is pushed to the forefront by year-round sports programs to encourage athletes to hone the craft of a single sport, finding an athlete with NFL and MLB experience is largely unheard of.
Gone are greats of the past like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson.
Since former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow began instructional league with the New York Mets, he has a (small) shot to end the eight-year drought since this last occurred.
Only 67 athletes have completed this impressive accomplishment, and history shows that in recent years the task is only getting more difficult, with a mere seven players doing the deed since 1970.
