If Danny Ainge turns out to be the best at both that aint sayin' much for the athletes listed here. None of these guys really excelled at their respective sports. Ainge was a good basketball player but not a great one. At least guys like Thorpe or Jackson were great at one sport.
I know he didn't make it to the majors but if there were an 'other' I would vote for Michael Jordan.

Well, DeBusschere is a Hall of Fame Basketball player, and had two pretty promising seasons as a pitcher before concentrating on basketball.
I didn't vote because I couldn't give informed commentary on anyone except Ainge and Hendrickson, and just barely at that.
No offence to anyone that DID vote, but maybe a few others had the same problem...
