Between the years 1952-1963, Gene Conley split his time between baseball and basketball. The pitcher/power forward was receiving contracts from both leagues as early as 1950, and he opted to sign with the then-Boston Braves. Then in 1952, he was selected 90th by the Boston Celtics. Conley went back and forth between the two teams, taking several seasons off from the NBA to pitch. He finished his NBA career averaging just 5.9 points per game and 6.3 rebounds, and his MLB career with a 91-96 win-loss record with 3.82 ERA.
