Partly because baseball has been around the longest, there have been more MLB
players who played other professional sports than pro athletes from other sports
playing MLB baseball. Baseball players were not paid much in the early part of
the 20th century and being paid for two sports beat out having a regular job!
We talk about what we call the big 4 - all NFL/MLB players as well as some
notable names from sports like basketball, hockey and golf who were also major
leaguers!
