It is very difficult to believe anyone is truly a one trick pony. Everyone on this earth has many different skills and talents. Famous people are no different. Whether they are musicians, politicians, actors or athletes, they all have more than one skill they are good at.
Bernie Williams retired from professional baseball and now is the guitarist for a popular jazz band. Former San Diego Padres’ infielder Tim Flannery is in a successful bluegrass band and has even performed with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. Lynn Swann and Steve Largent both hung up their football cleats and were elected to congress. Michael Jordan starred with Bugs Bunny in the movie Space Jam. This all points to the fact that nobody has just one talent.
What about the other famous figures? What about the big name celebrities that either fell short of or chose to pursue other interests instead of playing sports? There are many fine politicians, musicians, and actors who played sports at one time in their life. This list shows a few of those people, ranked by how much fame they have accrued. The one rule is that these people must not have achieved their fame through athletics. They must have achieved their success in some other fashion, but at some point in their lives had been a passionate and successful athlete at any level of play.
