alice cooper, iggy pop, huey lewis, and darius rucker a/k/a/ hootie said to have real good golf handicaps; perhaps not quite PGA quality though.
how good a tennis player was lars ulrich in pre-metallica days? was he ever actually "seeded" (whatever that means) in denmark? his much cooler dad played wimbledon (and was a jazz musician) i believe.

I fear that Pat Cash and John McEnroe may have may a record or two (Mac certainly toured with his own band, much to the growing disgust of his wife); Jo Durie certainly did (it was 'orrible) and Jim Courier has played drums with REM. Yannick Noah has had several hits in France.

Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Shows would promote their shows by showing up in town around noon, challenging all comers to a baseball game, then afterwards saying "tell you what, we licked you/you licked us, but why don't you come down to the dancehall tonight and we'll show you a thing or two about this fiddle music." Could it have worked for Black Flag? Maybe.

Some of those tennis players released a version of Led Zep's 'Rock 'n' Roll'.

There appear to be three versions of "For the Money" and two versions of, er, "Punani."
Needless to say, this is a must-buy.

I can't believe nobody's mentioning David Ortiz's new reggaeton album (!), featuring somebody called Cynthia Roquez. It's entitled, regrettably, "Bases Loaded." I have a feeling it's the best thing in the world.
this IS a joke, yes? and if not, how many copies of it have been sold in boston?

It's for real, and it's not very good. Here's a lo-fi RM file, provenance unknown, that I found somewhere. I haven't heard the full-length yet, but if this is the single, I don't have high hopes for the rest, sheer novelty value aside.

Heard Cecil Taylor was a great basketball player, though he was considerably smaller than stereotypical players.
Was HR involved in anything organised athletically or just naturally athletic? Seen footage of those other DC types Fugazi pretty much slamdunking themselves through basketball hoops.
