While there, he tried out and made the Varsity Baseball team, and pitched for 4 years. After college he tried out and was signed on to the Atlanta Cracker's team. Before he could start with the Crackers, he was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict and was stationed at Ft. Jackson, SC. While there he played for the Post Regimental team for 2 years, during which time he sustained an injury to his pitching arm. After his Honorable Discharge and an extensive rehab period, he attempted to pitch for the Cracker's farm team in Baton Rouge, LA but his injury prevented him from pursuing a professional baseball career.
