But, despite the records, Leach was surprised to be picked in the first round of the major league draft.

"For a guy who can't hit with power and throw too well," he laughed, "I guess I didn't do too bad." Questions kept returning to what prompted Leach to forsake a lucrative football career in favor of baseball. He and his parents refused to talk about terms, except in generalities. "Money was a big factor, but that wasn't the main thing," his father, Dick Leach explained. "If this was Rick's only concern, he probably wouldn't be here, because both DETROIT (AP) -University of Michigan Ail-American Rick Leach ignored the lure of big-money professional football and instead chose Thursday to play baseball with the Detroit Tigers. "I wasn't exactly sure going into the season what would happen," Leach said at a news conference at Tiger Stadium, Just minutes after signing.
