Chuck Connors
Kevin Joseph "Chuck" Connors (April 10, 1921 – November 10, 1992) was an American actor, writer and professional basketball and baseball player. He is one of only 12 athletes in the history of American professional sports to have played both Major League Baseball and in the National Basketball Association. With a 40-year film and television career, he is best known for his five-year role as Lucas McCain in the highly rated ABC series ''The Rifleman'' (1958–63).〔
==Early life==
Connors was born Kevin Joseph Connors on April 10, 1921, in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Marcella (Londrigan) and Alban Francis "Allan" Connors, a longshoreman, immigrants from the Dominion of Newfoundland (now part of Canada).〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=93582726〕〔https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FLZ1-CWD〕 Connors was raised Roman Catholic and served as an altar boy at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brooklyn. Connors had one sibling, a sister, Gloria.〔(Profile ), ourchuckconnors.com; accessed March 7, 2015.〕
Connors did not like his first name and was seeking another one. He tried out "Lefty" and "Stretch" before settling on "Chuck", because while playing first base, he would always yell, "Chuck it to me, baby, chuck it to me!" to the pitcher. The rest of his teammates and fans soon caught on and the name stuck. He loved the Brooklyn Dodgers despite their losing record during the 1930s, and hoped to someday join the team himself. Connors' athletic abilities earned him scholarships to the Adelphi Academy (from which he graduated in 1939) and Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, which he left after two years.〔
During World War II (1939–45), he enlisted in the Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and spent most of the war as a tank-warfare instructor at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and later at West Point, New York.〔
