Shabazz is considered by many one of the most talented athletes ever to come out of the state of Arkansas. For some reason, he chose baseball to pursue. We got to see him play once at Ray Winder Field in Little Rock. His first time up, he roped a drive off the fence and if I remember correctly ended up at third with a clean triple.
For the rest of the game, he saw nothing but curve balls. Well, whether or not he actually saw them I cannot say, but he did not hit any of them. He made it to the Texas League for a couple of seasons, and that ended his career. I do not know if curve balls played a part in the end, but his batting average was anemic at that level.
