In 1964, John Huarte won the Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback at the University of Notre Dame. Why mention this here? Dan McGinn played football with the Fighting Irish at the same time, taking the field at defensive back, running back, and punter, but he was primarily a (backup) quarterback.
During his senior year at Notre Dame, Dan McGinn set a still-standing single season record for strikeout percentage, mowing down 105 batters, across 74 innings of work — 12.66 strikeouts per inning!
Dan McGinn continued making baseball history once he reached the majors, hitting the first home run in Montreal Expos history, off Tom Seaver, on April 8, 1969. During that same game, he relieved Mudcat Grant in the second inning, becoming their first relief pitcher in franchise history as well! Want more? On April 14, 1969, he also pitched in relief, earned the win, and it was the first time a Canadian major league team won a game in Canada!
