Here's something I bet no one other than Vince Coleman knows:

(read back of card):

Story was, Vince was a good punter in college and tried to make the Redskins as a punter. His cousin was a punter on the Vikings, Greg Coleman.

Well, the Redskins noticed his speed and wanted to make him a wide receiver, bur he sprained his ankle, sat out camp and chose baseball...where he was a base-stealing machine. We'll never see anyone steal 145 bases in 113 games again!

Hey, the Skins had it right...wow, what could have been. Too bad he was a Cowboys fan though.

SI article on it:
It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's the Cardinals' Vince - 06.17.85 - SI Vault

I think I just won the thread.
