ZbiSai,
No offense, but “professional” wrestling is a scripted event and is more of an acting profession than a sport. When my daughter was in her 20’s she asked my why I never told her that. I told her I thought everyone knew.

I told her I thought everyone knew. Thanks for your remark. Whether pro wrestling is sport or not is a matter of discussion, and I'm not competend to judge in this matter. Sport or not, these two men in question were both professional ballplayers and professional wrestlers.

Randy Savage hasn't made the majors, he was only a catcher in the minors(Cardinals and Reds farm teams). However, in B part of a question, I asked about a man who had been both a professional ballplayer and a professional wrestler, better known as a wrestler. Randy Savage certainly fills this criteria. The same situation with Dale Torborg(son of Jeff Torborg) - probably it's him you have in mind. has He played minor league pro baseball as a 1st baseman for the Mets and the Yankees farm teams. He was better known as a pro wrestler too. So , massyankfan, you've found second correct answer to the B part of the question. It looks there have been more than one men like this(both pro ballplayers and pro wrestlers).

I knew he was with Yanks in 1994. I remember being in Anchorage, Alaska at a restaurant, and somehow the Yankee game was on TV and Ausanio came in to pitch.
Restaurant was called Elevation 93. Dolores and I got the halibut, which was spectacular.
