Goldberg played college football at Georgia and professionally for the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons before entering wrestling. He's currently involved with kickboxing.

His brother, Steve, was drafted out of high school by the Cincinnati Reds, but declined a $5,000 signing bonus in the late 1960s and went on to play college football, according to Goldberg.

"So we've got baseball in the family, no doubt," the 48-year-old former WCW wrestler said. "But I was 240 [pounds] in high school my senior year. I was concentrating so much on football at that point. I did play Legion my senior year. I had a travel team and all that. I was a huge baseball fan -- a huge baseball fan. I still am."
