Shaq was obviously one and Ben McDonald played basketball for Dale Brown at the same time that he played baseball and was chosen #1 in the draft.

As the title said - Just for Fun

You can probably win a beer or two in a bar bet if you offer the question correctly.

Not kidding and didn't know this until he told me at a book signing last year...

Dale Brown worked with Skip and kept Ben on his basketball scholarship (full) even after moving over to baseball. Was a pretty slick way to keep him on a full ride and not steal from the few scholarships that baseball is/was allowed.

Not sure if Lyle Mouton got the same deal but I doubt it. Should have asked.
