Aug 09, 2013. 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.
Sanders part-time baseball career lasted nine years, playing 641 games with four teams. His most productive year was 1992, when he hit .304 for the Braves and stole 26 bases in 97 games. In 1989, Sanders hit a home run and scored a touchdown in the NFL in the same week, the first player to do so. 1991: Neon Deion hits .304 in 97 games with the Braves, and his 14 triples will lead the Majors. Sanders rejoins the Atlanta Braves on Sept. 25 for the remainder of the season to help the Braves' pennant drive.
