Auerbach distinguishes moncler men jackets himself in 2nd sport 31 years later

Rick Auerbach created quite a stir when he bowled his exhilarating 818 series this month and the conversation just seems to be starting.

The former major leaguer, who has been piling up 300 games, triggered talk that moncler women jacket he was ripe to turn professional in a second sport.

Not all pro bowlers agreed, saying the 62yearold Auerbach faced a wide array of pressures and obstacles in pro tournaments. Even Auerbach acknowledged that it was 10 times easier bowling in the friendly confines of league bowling at AMF Woodlake Lanes in Woodland Hills compared to tournament competition.

Still, it's time to give Auerbach his due.

Look at the athletes who have been revered for their outstanding twosport performances.

And there are plenty of them, ranging from Danny Ainge (baseball, basketball), Dave DeBusschere http://www.moncleroutleton.com/ (baseball, basketball) and Brian Jordan (baseball, football) to the morerenowned Deion Sanders (baseball, football) and Bo Jackson (baseball, football).

Let's focus on Jackson because he's widely considered the best twosport athlete of all time. A Heisman Trophy winner, Jackson was glamorized because of his powerful home runs.

And he did hit 32 homers and drive in 105 runs in 1989. But he also struck out 172 times that year and never hit better than .272 moncler men vest in any season. He played four seasons in the NFL (198790) and eight years in the majors (19861994).

Most significantly for Jackson and Sanders and the others all their achievements basically were compiled concurrently. In other words, those athletes distinguished themselves within a space of a few years in both sports.

The Woodland Hills resident played 11 seasons (197181) for four major league teams, including the Dodgers. Admittedly, he was not a star player with a lifetime batting average of .220 and had only one season with more than 250 atbats.

Still, he batted a robust .342 for the Dodgers in 1974 in 45 atbats. And he compiled sparkling batting averages of .327 (1978) and .333 (1980) with the Big Red Machine Cincinnati Reds, albeit in limited moncler women coats atbats.

Most importantly, Auerbach is now tearing up moncler men coat the lanes a full 31 years after he played his last major league game.

Can you imagine performing at such a high level moncler women vests in your second sport 31 years later?

Sure, bowling is far different from professional football or basketball or baseball. But one still needs to work on one's bowling game relentlessly to perform consistently at a high level.
