From Glory Days TV Show featuring Rick Leach 3of 3

Rick Leach was a three-sport, All-State athlete at Flint Southwestern High School. After a stellar high school career he went on to become a two-sport All-American at the University of Michigan in both football and baseball. Following his record-breaking college career Rick was drafted by the NFL’s Denver Broncos and a first-round pick by the Detroit Tigers. Opting for baseball over football, he played 10 seasons of Major League Baseball with four different clubs. In 1999, he was listed by Sports Illustrated as one of “The 50 Greatest Sports Figures from Michigan” and in 2008, he was inducted into the state of Michigan’s Sports Hall of Fame.
