Ron Reed... 1965-66
OK, top this:
Here is the long-time reliever in his other major league career: as a two-season forward for the Detroit Pistons. That's Reed in white, uniform 20, going against what was literally his opposite number on the 76ers (Dave Gambee). The game took place as part of a doubleheader in New York in November, 1966. In less than a year Reed would make his baseball debut with the Braves.
Incidentally, the Pistons' player-coach as this photo was taken was Dave DeBusschere, who by then had concluded his other career - as a pitcher for the White Sox.
