Although both attended the school and graduated in 1954, yearbooks show Redford was on the tennis team, not the baseball team. His biography also confirms he left the University of Colorado baseball team shortly after joining. However, they may have played baseball together outside school, possibly during summer games. Thus, the high school teammate story is likely inaccurate, but a personal baseball connection remains possible.
