I thought he was a Coug but had to read on to be sure. World Series champ and NBA champ. One article mentioned a handful of other notable 2 sport stars. Among them? Mark Hendrickson.
 
Stud, indeed.

I will also speculate that the order in which he did it (baseball first, then basketball) is the only order in which it was likely to have been possible. The guy was almost 30 when he started playing pro basketball. Would have been hard to have played pro hoops for 6-ish years, then started at ML baseball.

Gotta disagree--baseball is a sport where it's not uncommon to see guys playing into their late thirties, where you.rarely see that in basketball.
