Well he played in the NFL long enough to qualify for the NFL pension plan. They have to play in the NFL for 3 years and 3 games.

The knock on Booty in MLB was that he never could hit a curveball. Remember watching a game he played in and the announcers raved about how he hit fastballs 500 feet (which is true he was a good hitter) but couldn't hit the major league breaking ball. Same problem a lot of guys have like Brandon Larson, always a AAA all star but not able to hit the major league breaking stuff. He was indeed a good baseball player though. The Booty's and Evangel of the 1990's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and that could be a source for a lot of the criticism. For LSU fans UAB was tough to swallow.
