Name: Brian Jordan
Team: St. Louis Cardinals
Position: Outfield
Value of card: One loss in fantasy football
Key 1997 stat: Many losses in fantasy football
We'll take a pass: Brian Jordan was a two-sport athlete for several years, playing defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons while climbing the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system. He even led the Falcons in tackles in 1991 and was a Pro Bowl alternate. But he signed a contract with the Cardinals in 1992 that required him to quit football (except for ridiculous baseball card photo shoots, apparently). Here are a few of the Bust's other favorite two-sport stars.
- Deion Sanders, who was a football player, a baseball player, and just a player
- Bo Jackson, whose talent was almost as ridiculous as his sports cards
- Kenny Lofton, who loved sunglasses and short-shorts
- John Elway, who was a QB, a collegiate baseball player, and a lifelong thoroughbred-face
- Nolan Ryan, who threw hard pitches and punches
