What's in a name?:

The above discussion over in our locker room got me thinking about that most sporting of names: Steve Smith.
There have been S.S.'s in the NFL, NHL, NBA, in pro racing, coaching college baseball, in college track, pro soccer, water polo, wrestling and there are even Steve Smiths yet to be; but the closest I could find in the MLB was Stephen Smitherman. How 'bout it guys? Can Steve Smith play baseball?

He was also an England rugby union captain. Blimey, this bloke is talented to play all those sports!

Bo Jackson has nothing on Steve Smith. God, I hope Nike doesn't read this thread.

Hell, Steve Smith was so good, he was drafted in the 1st round *and* the 6th round of the 1981 NHL draft...
