quote:Son, I was around back then. He was Pennsylvania All-state in basketball: Upon graduation from high school in 1961, he received offers from several Major League Baseball teams, including the Yankees, Indians, Reds, Pirates, and Phillies and I don't need to mention what he accomplished in football. The 2nd best athlete to ever attend was Charles Cleveland...you can find out about him for yourself.

Because MLB didn't have a draft until '65. Every team invited hundreds of prospects to camps every year, all over the country.
Namath is definitely an icon

Yea, I'm not old enough but I know enough old farts in my family and read enough to know that Joe Namath pre-legs falling apart was a different animal than Joe Namath post-leg issues.
Basically anyone who watched him when he still had knees said he was as good as anybody they'd ever seen and was a better athlete than anyone they'd ever seen at QB.
