Former MLB Player Bubba Thompson Quits Baseball to Play College Football 

Bubba Thompson: From MLB Bust to NCAA Football Hopeful? Is this a legitimate shot at redemption or a desperate publicity stunt? A former first-round pick washing out of pro baseball at 26 and returning to college football is certainly unconventional. Does Thompson have any realistic chance of making an impact, let alone the NFL? Or is this simply a case of misplaced priorities and a fleeting grasp at former glory? What are the odds a player can successfully transition between such different sports at this stage in his athletic career? This move begs the question: what drives a player to make such a drastic change? Is it passion, a refusal to give up on a dream, or something else entirely? Share your thoughts. I predict this will either be an inspiring comeback story or a cautionary tale. Which way do you lean?
