Didn't know Chuck was a basketball player.
Player #2502651
I recognized his picture.

he was in that very short-lived series branded. About a Civil War army guy accused of desertion I think.

Nazdek, What does race have to do with anything
Shaver 151
Give us his career dates, ya know, for the sports geeks.
Waldo Lydeker
He was lucky enough to have been cast in one of the greatest westerns of all time, "The Big Country", playing Buck Hannassey. His final scene with his father (played by Burl Ives, who got the Oscar that year for playing Rufus Hannassey) is so poignant. Chuck Connors was a hell of an actor which is why the legendary director William Wyler picked him.

He also played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

According to History.com it's Darrly Dawkins
Joe
I'm glad Shaq wasn't an option because I would've picked him for sure. He probably broke the most, anyway.
