Who played more seasons of Major League Baseball, Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson?
Sanders does not get enough credit for waht he did in baseball. In 1992 he batted .304 and led the Nation league in triples (14) despite only playing about half of a season (303 at bats), In 1997 he stole 56 bases in about three-quarters of a season (465 at bats). He is a career .263 hitter in over 2000 major league at bats.
And made a fashion statement with high socks.
Deion Sanders is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Agreed. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because baseball people hated him for his balancing act. I think they resented that he could be so good at baseball without devoting 100% of himself to the sport. He even played both sports in one day I believe. Only player to win a Super Bowl and appear in a World Series. Pretty sure ol' Marty hated him.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
