Two successes to report: Billy Sample & Vince Ferragamo
Billy Sample played for the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, and Atlanta Braves over nine seasons from 1978–1986. He singled on his first major league pitch in 1978, made the Topps All Rookie Team in 1979, and had his longest hitting streak (19 games) in 1981. In 1983 he was fifth in the American League in steals (44 of 52), sixth in power-speed numbers and was the 10th toughest to strike out in the league. Sample finished with a career .272 average.
Vince Ferragamo played 10 years in the NFL for the Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills, and Green Bay Packers. After leading the 9–7 Rams to road victories over the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1979 NFC playoffs, Ferragamo started in Super Bowl XIV, making him the first quarterback to start a Super Bowl in the same season as his first career start. The underdog Rams led after three quarters of play before falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers 31–19. He enjoyed his best statistical season in 1980 in which he threw for 30 touchdowns, tied for second most in the NFL.
