AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has revealed he could've been a baseball star.
The striker has well and truly put his disastrous loan spells with Manchester United and Chelsea behind him, scoring 21 times for Monaco this season.
"At the time we were in Venezuela and baseball is the biggest sport there. I played it and was competing at a very high level," Falcao told UEFA.com.
"My father realised that I'd have to make a decision and they decided that we should go back to Colombia so that I could focus solely on football.
"It would have been more difficult to do that in Venezuela because I might have been tempted by baseball, which I liked and was able to play at the same time as football.
"I had big potential at the time because I became good at it very quickly and if I'd kept playing, I could've gone very far in the sport.
"But football runs in my blood and I did really want to play football."
