I just had to look Connors up. I do remember "Branded" but still miss the metaphor. Connors played in the first Boston Celtics game where he broke the first backboard ever in the NBA. He played one game for the Dodgers (Brooklyn) and 66 for the Cubs until he was sent to the minor leagur Los Angeles Angels where, as they say, the rest is history. Amazing man - mediocre actor. He was apparently drafted by the Bears but didn't play. Two pro sports is amazing but he probably could have done three.
