Type in any two pro athletes in history, and this database will separate them by 6 or less athletes.

Yep - you can't do hockey with the other sports. No hockey player has ever played another pro sport also.

You can do any two hockey players with each other (that sounded weird), but no hockey player has ever played a second pro sport.

I'm sure Chris Drury played Little League with or against someone at some point, right?

 

[Frozen]

Clearly, Danny Ainge, Drew Henson, Bo Jackson, Brian Jordan, Deion Sanders and Dave DeBusschere are going to be relied on heavily.

Tom Glavin was drated by NHL, Manute Bol played in CHL (1 game).
Can connect NHL guys via super models.

Also a guy named Mark Hendrickson, who apparently was a Dodger in 2006 and a Sixer in the 90s.

Like for the avatar.

Here's a funny one ... it connects a football player with a basketball player ... by going though a baseball player. (Uses two of those two-sport guys).

Yeah, I tried Mark and Dan McGwire and it was only 3 degrees because of the St. Louis Cardinals.

 

[orange79]

Apparently, you cannot connect Dave Bing and Tyler Ennis. Also apparently, Tyler Ennis is a hockey player.

"There is no link between these two players. No professional hockey player has ever played at the top level of a different pro sport."

 

[Eric15]

Chuck Norris can be connected to anyone in history by less than 1 athlete. It doesn't matter that that's not a logical thought.
