+=== Did You Know? ===
+  *Shannon was featured twice on CNN's "Play of the Day" segment.  The first time he was working as a Brewers ballboy and scooped up a hit on the third base line.  He assumed the ball went foul (it was fair) and threw it into the stands.  The second time, he made the highlight film after his father submitted a video of him blocking Michael Jordan's dunk attempt during a summer pick-up game at Jordan's camp in 1991.
