Two decades ago, Deion Sanders did something that no other athlete has ever done before and that is play in a professional baseball and football game all in a matter of 24 hours. As a member of the Atlanta Braves, Deion played in Game 4 of the 1992 NLCS on a Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
