Who are some other professional softballers that made it far in baseball

[rj_brown77]

Eric Byrnes may be the absolute worst pro athlete - turned - sports talk show host ever. He is unbearable.

He is awful but Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice have that top spot on lock down.

 

[nutmegs]

How far is far. Are we talking minor league or Major league here.

 

[Mitch Gebauer]

Brett McCollum played in the minors for a bit i think

 

[g8orguy]

He'd hit balls farther than anyone else. Dude has some of the farthest home runs in MLB history. Canseco can mash in his advanced age. I couldnt imagine Dunn.

I wouldn't want to pitch against him.

I wouldn't want to pitch against him.

This. Ever.

Tony Graffanino plays in Jersey.

 

[Slimer39]

I've played against Billy Ashley exDodger and i think Red Sox once that SOb hit bombs!!!

 

[ATL Rookie]

Not baseball, but I played against a guy that played a couple years for the Steelers. He had no bat control, but when he made contact it was a missile.

 

[dttruax]

Corey Snyder back in the day

 

[phxraida15]

Played against Carlos Zambrano too. I seen him gun out some fat dude jogging to first base after a hit from left field...
Not when I played against him but a game after that...

Which one?

 

[SacBunt]

I bet Griffey jr woulda been a beast if he played

 

[scrub]

Like to see Jim Thome hit a softball.

 

[lineshot]

Adrian Gonzales hit some absolute Bombas in a league last year. Obviously still plays but he would prob. be the best lefty in softball if he played after he retires.

 

[j.bishop]

Johnny Estrada plays Slowpitch down in Atlanta. We played his club a few years back in a benefit tournament. Dude crushes but he's a drunk.

He runs a baseball clinic/batting cage here in Peachtree city and is a really nice guy the few times I have met him. His team use to play league ball at hunter complex in Newnan

He sponsors his cousin's team in Chula Vista.

 

[djbigkid]

Ive hear Kevin Mitchell plays quite a bit. And ive seen the Giles brothers play.

 

[rmeman]

Jacque Jones has played some. Akili smith who played for the Pirates before going back to football has played some. And yes Kevin Mitchell. I have seen Cecil Fielder hit some in bp a few times also.

 

[dychen]

AZ guys should know that Tyler Buerlein played in the Mets organization. Country that plays with me was drafted by the dbacks out of HS. There are a few others I can't think of right now.

Yea he plays in leagues here and there but not much anymore. I used to play with him at roar park 4-5 years ago.

Charles Thomas who played for the Braves in '04 and Oakland in '05-'07 played on our D tournament team early last year. Great guy and you could definitely tell his skill set was much higher than any other outfielder you would see on a weekend. Hit it a mile when he turned on one as well, but you could tell his roots were in baseball. Apparently he still plays a little league ball in the Asheville area. I've played with some others who made it to Triple A, but to my knowledge he was the only one to make it to the show.

 

[WCURacer29]

I played intramurals one year with Charles at WCU when he was on the baseball team. Fast as heck.

 

[josh20]

Robb Quinlan plays up here, also I believe Jeff Hall played low level minor league ball...

 

[Crush17er]

Theres a guy in yuma Christian Parra who was the braves minor league pitcher of the yr who plays ball... shoulder inj cut his career short lol

He definitely covered a ton of ground. Has a great arm too.
