Hank Biasatti

Henry Arcado Biasatti was an Italian-Canadian National Basketball Association (NBA) player and a Major League Baseball first baseman. He is the only Canadian to play at the top professional level in both sports. He was also the first international player to appear in a game in NBA history, doing so with the Toronto Huskies on November 1, 1946, against the New York Knicks; he shares this distinction with German teammate Charlie Hoefer, who played for the Huskies in the same game.
