L.S.U.’s Chad Jones Has Game-Changing Talent in Football and Baseball

Chad Jones’s first at-bat in a baseball game came as a 4-year-old, after he skipped T-ball to play alongside his brother in a pitching-machine league.
In his first at-bat, he laced a double.
A few months later, Jones played in his first football game. After booting the opening kickoff, he raced downfield and delivered a jolting hit. For the first time, he caused the crowd to ooh and ahh.
Jones’s legend is being built in Louisiana, where his accomplishments in football and baseball stir talk of other two-sport stars, like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson.
