It turns out, and I did not know this until about 5 minutes ago, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 8th round of the 1995 draft. He played 4 years of baseball before eventually becoming a professional football player. I'm serious.
That's Ricky Williams wearing a Piedmont Boll Weevils jersey (at the time, the Phillies' Class A minor league affiliate.) This really blows my mind. I can't really imagine Ricky Williams being good at baseball...and I guess for good reason. He pretty much sucked during his short minor league career:
A .211 batting average and a .518 OPS. I think I might be able to do better than that. Well, I guess one thing is for sure...my dad might not be able to tackle Ricky Williams but I guarantee he could probably strike his ass out.
Anyway, I went and saw "Seven Pounds" tonight. Decent movie. I wasn't blown away by it. I usually have high expectations for Will Smith movies and this was really just average for a Will Smith movie. It was still good...but not great. Not epic. Not legendary. That makes his last three movies a bit of a disappointment for me. "Hancock" had that stupid twist in the middle that I really thought ruined the movie. And "I Am Legend" wasn't all that great. He could really use a great role in his next movie. Let's hope.
