from Greatest Hockey Legends,
Hockey and baseball have had some cross-over stars. Baseball stars Tom Glavine and Kirk McCaskill were both drafted by the NHL. On the other hand, Wayne Gretzky has said repeatedly that as a youth baseball was the sport he was most passionate about.
Here’s a few examples of NHLers who dabbled in baseball at a serious level:
Kevin Stevens - the son of a former minor league baseballer, Kevin Stevens was a heck of a high school ball player who was recruited to play at Boston College.
Paul Ysebaert - Played on Canadian national baseball team in summer of 1985.

didn’t pierre turgeon play in the little league world series?
You must have missed this:
Pierre Turgeon - competed in the 1982 Little League World Championships. In 2007 he was enshrined in the Little League Hall of Fame.
I think Brian Leetch was a serious baseball player too…I remember always hearing about how he had a 90+ mph fastball when he was in high school.
