What player's post-playing days hurt/helped their career?

The "Scooter" was a beloved ballplayer by many during his playing days (1941-1956). And, those of us who were fortunate to listen to Yankee
games (TV & Radio) from 1957 to 1996 enjoyed Rizzuto's broadcasting and banter with his broadcast partners. Furthermore, during the 40 years
of Rizzuto's broadcasting, two generations of BB fans gained an appreciation of this great BB personality and his tremendous insight of the game.




On the other hand, there is Chuck Connors, who was a pretty good athlete in his youth. Played BB briefly with the Dodgers and Cubs and Basketball
with the Celtics. However, he realized early that he was not destined to make a career in professional sports. So, he pursued a career in acting.
While playing for the LA Angels in (PCL), Chuck was able to gain the exposure with Hollywood scene.
