    My pops told me when he went to go see his frat brothers run a track meet at FSU that Prime had a baseball game a field over. He said he saw him jump the gate check in for relay in FULL baseball uniform and blew those guys out the water. Then he hopped back over the gate and hit a HR an inning or 2 later. My dad still talks about that and how amazed everybody was because he did it so effortlessly.

      I was there that day myself, it was the conference championship track meet at FSU, I was a jumper for Memphis State. He did it just like that, and handily beat some very fast people who were dedicated track stars. I won’t ever forget that one myself.

      One point though Just to clarify I remember he did jump over fence in his baseball uniform, but quickly changed into track uniform and shoes for the 100, quickly changed and went back for the baseball game. At least how I remembered the conference meet if that was the one. It was so cool to see him do that

    One of the most unique players to ever play in the NFL. He had a unique stance, very low to the ground, from which he could rotate and burst in any direction. He could cover anywhere on his half of the field. So no one threw to his side because he could always get there before the ball did. He nearly eliminated the passing offense on HALF the field. Phenomenal hands too. Not a trash talker either. Wide receivers would report that he would actually give them tips during the game. That's confidence. Never be another.

    I was never a big Braves fan, but can vividly recall a sequence from a game in the early 1990's that showed the type of player Deion was. He took first base (can't recall if he got the hit or was walked). He then stole 2nd base. And then stole 3rd base. And, wouldn't you know it, he also stole home. I have never seen anything like it before or since.
