re: Spinoff: How many SEC schools have Hall of Famers in all 3 major sports (pro career)?

I know Bama has 2/3. Football and baseball (Joe Sewell was pre-SEC so yes Frank Thomas is the first former SEC player in Cooperstown).

If Sprewell had not gone crazy, he'd likely have a shot at it.

I don't follow the NBA that closely; thought Horry would have a shot when I kept hearing his name in the playoffs. Sadly, his numbers don't come close to HoF status, but bloody heck does the guy have a lot of rings. 7x NBA championship rings. That's the most for a player not on the Celtics during their insane run from the late 50s to the early 70s. Yes, even more than Jordan. It's also tied for the most rings by a player without being in the HoF (the other is a Celtic, obviously - Jim Loscutoff)
