David Palmer and Robert Davis from Homewood. Davis went to LSU and never amounted to much.

Palmer was also a fantastic shortstop and had a lot of power for his size. I watched him hit it out of Rickwood field over my head when I was playing right field. I played baseball with him in a summer league. Every throw he made to me at first, no matter where he fielded the ball, was chest high and going about 90 MPH. I really think he could have played MLB if he had a mind to do it instead of football.
