Tar Heel History: The shortest pro careers from UNC athletes

Posted Aug 20, 2020
Arguably the most famous person known for having a short pro career happens to be a Tar Heel. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham is mainly known for his role in the novel “Shoeless Joe” by W.P. Kinsella, and the movie based on it “Field of Dreams.” While some creative liberties are taken in the movie, it accurately recounts how his pro career played out. (Tar Heel Blog)
