[edit] Biographical Information

Josh Booty was considered as good as future NFL star Peyton Manning when they were both high school quarterbacks but he elected to play baseball instead. He washed out of baseball and went to LSU and was their quarterback for some time but did not reach the fame and glory in either sport that he was expected to. He is currently the back up quarterback for the Oakland Raiders of the NFL.

His younger brother, John David, who was also a top high school quarterback recruit, is a backup quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

In the 1993 World Junior Championship, Booty hit .257 with 9 RBI as the second baseman for a Team USA that won Silver.
