Did Deion Sanders play in the MLB?
Although Deion Sanders had more success playing football and played in the NFL, he also played in the MLB.
Sanders had a nine-year part-time career in the MLB. He played 641 games in the MLB between the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants.
Sanders ended his MLB career with a batting average of .263, 39 home runs, 168 RBIs and 186 stolen bases. Having played both baseball and football, he says that baseball is harder:
"Hitting that baseball," Sanders replied. "Hitting that baseball is something else. That's why they fail seven out of 10 times, and they're still making $300-400 million a year."
Throughout his baseball career he told friend and family that 'football is my wife and baseball is my mistress.'
