Ran into a non-Bobcat sports fan who when finding out I was a product of Athens, said that he considers Mike Schmidt an earlier version of Bo Jackson. Said he heard the MLB Hall-of-famer could drop in 30 in an intramural game and also toss the football 60 yards with an effortless flip.

What do you think, could the two be in the same conversation of over all great multi-sport athletes?

Or since Bo played two pro sports does that put him in a class above the Bobcat?

The true answer would be that Frank Baumholtz would be the Bobcat version of Bo Jackson. He played professionally in basketball and baseball. I don't think excelling in intramurals and backyard play really qualifies.

And Frank wasn't a hateful jerk (like Mike).
