"But, that's just one fellow's opinion." - George Carlin
In that respect, Colt Cabana began with college football, then moved into pro wrestling. He had a very brief stint in the WWE but he is now among the most in-demand independent wrestlers and has one of the successful podcasts The Art of Wrestling.
shareRod Carew is a quarter jewish...not too shabby

Don't forget boxer Max 'Slapsy Maxie' Rosenbloom. He even appeared in some Columbia comedy shorts.
Pity he was never teamed with the Stooges...
