Quick Summary
Deion Sanders lived not one but two incredible sports careers, dominating both the NFL as a shutdown cornerback and the MLB as a speedster outfielder, making him one of the rarest athletes ever to excel at the highest levels of two professional sports. Readers will cheer as they follow Deion's journey from a rebellious kid in Jacksonville who got kicked off his high school team to a Florida State legend who trash-talked his way to the end zone, plus the jaw-dropping stories of him playing baseball and football on the same day. If your kid loves underdog sports stories and biographies about athletes who broke the rules and rewrote the record books, they'll devour this fast-paced biography the way Deion burned past defenders. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 7 who eat up sports biographies and dream about crossing between two different worlds.
