[edit] Biography

For Deion Sanders's football career, see Deion Sanders (football)

Deion Sanders (Deion Luwynn Sanders) was born on August 9, 1967 in Fort Myers, Florida. He made his Major League debut on May 31, 1989 for the New York Yankees. In 1990, his rookie year, he hit .158 with 3 home runs and 9 RBI. Sanders played for the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants over the course of his 9 year career.

Most people believe that Deion Sanders's best season was 1997, when he stole 56 bases.

Sanders, also known as Neon Deion and Prime Time, is considered one of the greatest and most versatile athletes in recent American sports history, much like Bo Jackson. In football, he is considered to be one of, if not the greatest cover cornerback of all time.

In his nine-year, part-time baseball career, Sanders played 641 games with 4 teams. During his most productive year, 1992, he hit .304 for the Braves, and stole 26 bases in 97 games. During the 1989 season, he hit a home run and scored a touchdown in the NFL in the same week, the first player to do so. Sanders is the only man to have played in a MLB and NFL game during the same day, and to play in both a Super Bowl and World Series.
