Baseball recruiters strike out Newman: Football is his first love By Mahlon Beachy Of the Emerald Today, few athletes can com pete in more than one sport at the college or pro level. The training and specialized skills required to excel at one sport are seldom applicable to another. A few athletes, like former Eugene star Dan Ainge, succeed at two or three sports because of their knowledge of the games they play. Others, like ex-University basketballer Ron Lee, achieve multi-sport success through intense desire and competitive fervor. Then there are those who excel at vir tually any sport they try because of their speed, strength and athletic ability. Anthony Newman is one of those for tunate few. Newman, who will be a sophomore this fall, is a promis ing cornerback for the Duck football team. But he was also the third pick of the Cleveland Indians baseball team, and the 53rd pick overall, in the secon dary phase of the baseball draft several weeks ago. “I was really surprised,” said Newman. “A couple guys came up to me in the weight room and said ‘congratulations on getting drafted.’ I said ‘what, in baseball again?'
