    Baseball was my best but I was drafted by two different teams/sports. I was drafted by the Boston Red Socks in the first and and also drafted by the U.S. Army also in the first round.

    Through no choice of my own I signed with the U.S Navy in lieu of the army.

    Football, Basketball, and track.

    Still play Basketball regularly and as I got older I developed a great outside shot. Now I don't have to depend on speed as much though I still have plenty. My joints do hurt though after I play.

    I play football once a year on Thanksgiving.

    Bagging Cheerleaders was my main sport

    My best sport was football. I was a fullback. All state, all conf and all that kind of crap.

    Played basketball, baseball, track. Lettered 16 times.

    Did karate. Fought in tournaments and did well.

    Got old and started playing softball. Played AAA ball for a few years then stopped when my kids got old enough to play sports.

    Tough to be better than brother. (All-State football both offense and defense)
    I was not born stupid, just had lots of practice

    Soccer, track and cross country. Was captain of all three teams. Went to college on soccer scholarship, cut first year. I guess I wasn't that good.

    Racing and hunting aren't sports!

    My sport was baseball until I was 23 and I traveled all over the country playing slow pitch softball (kinda not a sport) for 12 years until I quit getting paid to play

    baseball is just a game ... a sport involves a great risk of death

    That's funny, I remember my first aluminum was called the "Tennessee Thumper ". I swear that thing was the size of a telephone pole. My first year in Rookie ball was in Billings. Greatest and worse experience of my life.
