Joe Benson twice rushed for more than 300 yards in a prep football game -- his career high is 366 -- and colleges wanted him badly as a running back. But baseball was his longtime love, having played it since he was 4 years old.

"I knew I couldn't give up baseball," he said. "It was kind of give and take. I thought with football, my body would get a little banged up."

He then chuckled while adding, "but it looks like baseball has kind of returned the favor."
