Where can I find all the athletes who played in more than one professional sport?

Question

I wanted to write a paper that deion sanders was the most versatile player, playing football as a corner, reciever, punt and kick off returner, and played baseball as well. Played in a nfl and mlb game on the same day is the only player to play in both super bowl and world series. The only other player i can think of is Bo Jackson, but there has to be more players previous to that. Can somebody help me out???

Answer 1

Brian Jordan was a safety for the Falcons and played baseball for the Braves and Cardinals.

Jeremy Bloom was a professional skier and now plays for the Eagles.

Jim Thorpe was an Olympic athlete, played in the NFL, and in the MLB. He is consistently voted the greatest athlete of all time.

I'll try to think of some more.

Answer 2

I don't know where a site would be, but from personal knowledge:
1. Jim Thorpe - Cincinnati Reds and Canton Bulldogs
2. Gene Connolly - Boston Braves and Boston Celtics
3. Dave DeBusschere - Chicago White Sox and New York Knicks
4. Danny Ainge - Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Celtics
5. Vic Janowicz - Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Redskins
6. Carroll Hardy - Cleveland Indians and San Francisco 49ers
7. Dion Sanders - many baseball teams and football teams
8. Bo Jackson - Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Raiders
Bo - the only person to be named an all-star in 2 different sports.
9. Walter Ray Williams Bowling and Horseshoe Pitching.
Williams is the all time money winner on the PBA tour and has won the World Horseshoe Pitching Tournament 6 times.
