Now starting in Center Field...Golden Tate?

[jimmythegreek]

If the name sounds familiar to you the ex Detroit Lions WR while not completely retired from football, has signed on in the PCL to be the starting CF for the Port Angeles Lefties. The 33 year old is trying his new hand in a different sport despite not seeing the football field last season.

In his debut Tuesday evening, Tate went 2 for 4 with a single, double, stolen base and RBI for the Lefties. Tate, an 11 year veteran in the NFL has caught 695 passes for nearly 8300 receiving yards and 46 TD overall.

Wishing him luck in his first sport love as he attempts to follow Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders in their footsteps.

One detail: Port Angeles is in a collegiate summer league, namely the West Coast League, not the AAA PCL which has teams in Tacoma, Reno, Las Vegas, etc.

thanks. I was about to look up how the how he was starting in the PCL...

everyone remembers Bo and Deion, but nobody rare that Brian Jordan doesn't get mentioned amongst the recent baseball position player/football athletes enough

Brian Jordan played for both the Braves and Falcons.

Good one, ARCH.

And let's mention multi-sport star Dave Winfield, who was drafted out of the University of Minnesota in 1973 by three different leagues (MLB, NFL and NBA).

It's true. He was very good in both sports but I guess wasn't viewed as spectacular as either Sanders or Jackson, so the relative anonymity.

Sometimes anonymity is good; sometimes it isn't.

Fake philanthropy with full anonymity.
