I have many. I played baseball since as early as I can remember. I had a real nice career as a pitcher in little league. I'm from CT. The year before Trumbull National won the world series, my team beat them. I am from a small town Easton. We had 1 team which was the Easton travel team. We lost 1 game all year. Nobody wanted to play us. We were not allowed to play in the little league world series tourney or even the state tourney that lead up to it because we only had 1 team. We were considereed an all star team. Those were the days. Wish I could live them again.

When I was 14 I crushed Andree Agassi.. albeit it was at the video game track and field at the Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs. I did play and lose to Erik Mendendez, at a tournament in Muncie Indiana when I was 16. He was one of the brothers who killed their parents in Beverly Hills. Two holes in one at golf. One when I was like 10 with my driver on a 100 yard par three and one with my pops when I was around 28.

High School home run record. Record still stands. Grew up in the sticks .... 24 years old, playing in an adult sandlot league, the whole summer, the baseball looks like a gràpefruit. Our team from Ohio, qualifies for Nationals in North Carolina. I go toe to toe, jackin' bombs with a guy on the other team, nicknamed 'Moon Dog'. Professional scout talks to me after the game, asks my age, .... Lets out a chuckle and walks away. Too old. Man, that was a fun summer!

Made All-District Baseball Team in high school.
No hole in one so I am jealous of you person. I came within a foot once.
I went to high school with Kordell Stewart but played against him in Pop Warner leagues.
Played against Vance Joseph who is the Defensive Backs coach for the Bengals.
Played against Terry Joseph (Vance's cousin) who is the Defensive Backs coach for Nebraska.

Went 4-8 with two 2b & 3 rbi's in the state American Legion tourney.........but we went 2 & out........was all-conf. in HS baseball.
Been playing golf seriously for about 20 years or so.........finally got an ace in 2010.......then another in 2011, about 18 months apart. The 2nd one flew into the cup..........no hole damage or anything, just CLANK!. I'm glad I was playing with some buddies, two of which saw my 1st ace, or they wouldn't have believed it.
The last few years have been fairly quiet though.

I hold all meaningful records for HS Boys goalkeeping in soccer in the state of Michigan - that is mostly because our team was really bad and I had 30+ saves a game.
I hit a championship buzzer beater to win in the finals of the Michigan State Intramural basketball league - it was exactly like Christian Laetner's shot he hit a few years after I showed him how to do it.
I played a pick-up game and was matched up against Scott Skiles in 1988 on some outdoor courts on the MSU campus. He totally smoked me - I mean bad!!! He was launching up 27 footers with a good breeze and they were all nylon. I was astounded how good he could play.

Goose--Cool memory. Also reminds me of the old joke about Jesus inviting Moses to play golf. Moses hits his first shot a long way, straight down the fairway--a beauty. Jesus then hooks his first shot badly into the woods, but all of a sudden, a huge wind blows it back into play and a bird picks it up, drops it down and it bounces off a sprinkler straight into the cup. Hole in one ! Moses walks over to Jesus and says "Did you invite me to play golf, or are you just out here to fucckk around ? "
