Two-Sport Star Josh Booty (Ep. 3)
The pressures on most top-tier prep baseball prospects are immense. But when they're also seemingly destined to be a star quarterback, too? It's almost unthinkable. We talked with Josh Booty about life as a two-sport star -- first as a first-round MLB Draft pick, then an NFL pick as a QB -- about life as a big time prospect in both sports. Among the discussion points:
- Setting the draft bonus record
- His first ABs with wood bat were in pro ball
- Missing out on playing in Tiger Stadium (LSU) while playing in front of 0 people in instructs
- Starting Opening Day for the World Series champs
- Comparing the life of an MLB 1st rounder vs NFL 6th rounder
- Reality TV (The Next Knuckler) and the difference in Spring Training 20 years apart
