This round is a little different from the others. In "Numbers Game" you are given a list of numbers that have been honorarily retired by their respective teams and asked to identify the player who wore it. In "You Gotta be a Football Hero", all the questions involve players who played both major league baseball and professional football. Good Luck.

1. He hit a pinch hit home run in his major league debut with the Philadelphia Athletics on April 30, 1937, but his career in baseball soon took a backseat to a professional football career. The top back in the NFL in the early forties, he was elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1972.

2. The only man ever to pinch hit for Ted Williams, he played defensive back for the 49'ers in 1955 after an All-American career at the University of Colorado.

3. He still holds the single game scoring record in the N.F.L. (40, set in 1929) but this Rose Bowl star also spent three seasons pitching for the old St. Louis Browns, where he served up two of the Babe's 60 in 1927.

4. Another former college football star on the Browns in the late twenties, this third sacker was later elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. An All-American center at St. Mary's (and later a member of the Green Bay Packers) he signed for a bonus of $6,000 on June 2, 1928, at that time the largest bonus ever paid to a rookie.

5. A starting safety in the Packers' first two Super Bowl victories, he was also a first baseman for the '63 Senators.

6. A big collegiate star at U.S.C., he retired from the N.F.L. to try his hand at major league baseball. After two lackluster seasons (1929-30) as a reserve outfielder with the St. Louis Browns he returned to the N.F.L. and went on to a Hall of Fame Career (he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981).

7. The "fastest man in Baseball" (his record of circling the bases in 13.4 seconds, set in 1929, still stands) he stroked an even .300 and scored an even 100 runs, along with 33 steals, in his rookie campaign with Cincy in 1929. Before turning to baseball, he played pro football from 1924-27.

8. The Reds also had another outfielder in 1929 who had played football previously in the N.F.L. Only 5'6" and 145 pounds, he played major league baseball with first the White Sox and then the Reds, as well as professional football as a tailback with the Green Bay Packers, during the 1926 and 1927 seasons.

9. An All-American running back at Army, he left school to join the Rochester Jeffersons in 1922. (Yes, the Rochester Jeffersons were a real N.F.L. team). An outfielder with the Athletics for six seasons, he batted over .300 three times. His last big-league at bat was as a pinch hitter in the '29 Series against the Cubs.

10. Who is the only Heisman Trophy winner, other than Bo Jackson, to have played major league baseball? He played baseball for the Pirates and football for the Washington Redskins before his career was tragically cut short by an automobile accident.
