Anyone remember Renaldo Nehemiah!!!! Track superstars with no football experience don't work out too well.

Anybody old enough to remember when Charles O. Finley used track star Herb Washington as a designated runner for the Oakland A's back in the early 70's?

Stole 29 bases, but was thrown out 18 times, and was routinely picked off.

I still think that this could be a good idea for some MLB team if they would be patient enough to let someone learn the game and let them gain experience coming up through the minor league system, rather than throwing them to the wolves right off the bat. You can teach a lot of things, but you cant teach speed.
