Football fans and baseball fans alike know the name Deion Sanders. But do you know what sets him apart from all other athletes? He is the only athlete in history to ever score an NFL touchdown and a MLB home run in the same week. That’s right, this one-of-a-kind athlete did something that nobody else has done before or since. Let’s take a closer look at this incredible feat.


A Historical Moment​


The event took place on September 11th and September 14th of 1992. On September 11th, Sanders scored a 50 yard touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons against the New York Jets. Then on September 14th, he hit a solo home run for the Atlanta Braves against the Cincinnati Reds. This earned him a spot in the record books as being the first—and so far only—athlete to score an NFL touchdown and MLB home run in the same week! His accomplishment was even more impressive considering that he had been playing football full time during that season while also playing baseball part time.

The Man Behind The Accomplishment​


There is no denying that Sanders was an amazing athlete with exceptional talent, but what made him truly special was his work ethic and competitive drive. He was always pushing himself to do better, no matter how good he already was. He consistently worked hard to improve his skillset in both sports and even tried his hand at professional basketball after retiring from football. But it is safe to say that his biggest accomplishment will forever remain scoring an NFL touchdown and MLB home run in one week!

Deion Sanders remains one of the most iconic athletes of all time. Not only did he have great success throughout his career in both football and baseball, but he also accomplished something that no other athlete has been able to replicate since – scoring an NFL touchdown and MLB home run in one week! Whether you are a fan of sports or not, it is impossible not to be impressed by this impressive feat! We can all learn from Deion’s example about how hard work pays off!
