Garth Brooks actually signed a minor league contract with the Padres. And John Dillinger was a baseball player of some promise who earned $75 a month batting leadoff and playing shortstop for a semi-pro team. The 5'7" Dillinger's nickname was "Jackrabbit" and he was supposedly drawn into a life of crime by an ex-con named Singleton who umpired his games.
