I have started hearing Tom House's name a lot recently.
1979 Topps #31 Tom House
For me, the former major league relief pitcher first reappeared in connection with the Million Dollar Arm film.
More recently House has emerged locally in discussions of the Football team. The Philadelphia Eagles have picked up Tim Tebow as a QB based off of Tom House's endorsement.
The trivia in the Tom House Bio doesn't end with Film and Football. In a 2005 USA Today article he admitted to using steroids as far back as the 1960s. He estimated 6-7 pitchers on every team were experimenting with Steroids or HGH.
On a much happier note, House is also the know for catching Hank Aaron's record break 715th Home Run.
I hope that Tom House is right about Tim Tebow, I find him fun to watch and he is always great press.
I also hope House is wrong about the steroids.
