Baseball
After a stellar career at Trinity High School, Brohm was drafted in the 7th round of the 1989 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos. He turned down the Expos offer in order to accept a scholarship to play football for the University of Louisville. However, after only one year of college football Brohm had a change of heart and decided to pursue playing both sports, by playing minor league baseball during his college summers. He held a workout for all MLB teams prior to the 1990 MLB draft and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 4th round. This time Brohm chose to play baseball and football. Brohm played for two summers in the minor leagues before quitting to focus on football.
