One of my neighbors was a two-sport athlete. Ron Reed, who pitched for the Braves in the late '60s, early '70s, also played in the NBA for a time. Ron won 18 games for the Braves in '69 when they won the West Division the first year the leagues divided.
He's a great guy to boot.

Always fun to hear about the guys that were more "under the radar". +1
That and I had no clue Danny Ainge played baseball.
