Another thread reminded me:

Eddie Fisher, semi-popular singer and husband of Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, and Connie Stevens (not at the same time).

William “Mookie” Wilson, Black center fielder for the New York Mets, known for his speed on the basepaths.

There seem to be a lot of NFL wide receivers who fit this pattern. Here are two more:

Malcolm Floyd, wide receiver for the Houston Oilers in the 1990s
Malcom Floyd, wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers in the 2000s
