No, not Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq Green-Thompson.
Shaq was rated the 4th best overall football recruit by Rivals and was committed to play for Washington this fall. He was then selected in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by the Boston Redsox and subsequently came across one the most difficult decisions of his life - baseball or football?
Well he chose baseball and I'm not exactly sure he is not already regretting that decision. I'll let the stats speak for themselves:

Ok, spoiler alert, he is 0-24 in his career with 23 strikeouts!!! Talk about a poor start. I honestly wonder how long it will be until he starts to rethink his decision and goes back to football. I obviously know people are going to start jumping down my throat that it has only been 8 games, but I can not recall a start this horrid in a while and when a player has multi-sport talent you have to always know it is in the back of their mind
. I'm sure he will stick it out and try to turn things around. I mean, the only way from here is up, but it might be an interesting offseason for Shaq Green-Thompson to ponder.
Ok - after further inspection, he WILL be reporting to UW for football, but wanted to give baseball a shot
