Ever get close to making the Little League WS

[terrortwylight]

I played hoops in Metro Detroit until I was 18. 6'4" 220 lbs by the time I was in 9th grade. I played Center and Power Forward, I was recruited as a Small Forward by Penn State. I was an inconsistent scorer at best, shitty at worst, so I was not offered an athletic scholarship. They wanted to tag me, which was meaningless for me because I was a good student. I could have been accepted and gone to school there without a tag. End of the day I decided to go to SAE Institute in Nashville to become an Audio Engineer.

I was god awful at baseball. Couldn't even hit the ball. God awful at football too. In 9th grade I played Tight End but I couldn't block or catch so I got moved to defense. Floated around a bunch of different defensive positions through 10th grade and that was it for me.

If I had to go back through high school and do all those things over again, I would have never played football. I had 4 diagnosed concussions, and I would absolutely suspect at least 2-3 undiagnosed ones too. I know for a fact they've affected my personality which scares the absolute dog shit out of me.

You were asking about baseball. Sorry for ranting.

Ever get close to making the Little League WS

I was pretty close to making the LL WS. We only made the regionals in Ohio, but we lost 1-0 and 2-1 to Youngstown Boardman in a best of 3 series. They ended up mercying every team in the state tournament, beating each team by 12-15 runs each. After that was the super regionals, and they ended up 1 run away from the LLWS. They lost the superregional championship... 3-2, and gave up 2 unearned runs in the bottom of the 6th. Our team was just an All Star team from the small town I live in but we were damn good. I remember those days like it was yesterday. I played 3B and batted 2nd... my 3 best friends to this day were also on the team. We still talk about it when we get together

[jjgold]

I was more of the guy that hung around with the Italians that ran the schools… I played briefly football and baseball and as you all know I'm very athletic as previous videos have shown and could of played pro ball as linebacker in NFL.

[freeVICK]

When I get kids I'm gonna force them to throw and bat lefty. Any decent lefty pitcher will get some looks

I'd also seriously think about teaching my kid a knuckleball from an early age

[Regul8er]

I played College Ball and Semi Professional for 4 summers.

If I ever saw a shift, I would have salivated.......could shoot it around the diamond.

[KiDBaZkiT]

U guys that played AAA or whatever was it close enough to MLB that the diamond smelled identical to a drum circle??

It seems by reading this thread we have a lot of failed athletes

[44 Mag]

At the very least High School ball.

Played what was called in the '70's, " Police League" . 17 years old up to 22 years old. Dead pull left field hitter, could hit it a "country mile", but could never hit the high fastball. Career over. LOL.

[jjgold]

I bet half you don't even know how to swing a goddamn bat

[upscope]

Wanna teach a kid to go oppo @ a young age?? Close left field!! In sandlot or pick UP games anything to left field is an out. Force the kids to go oppo.

[lakerboy]

I played ball for 13 years, until I was twenty. Senior A was my last stop.

The St. Boniface Legionaries....good times.

I coached for seven years afterwards, Provincial Midget (16-18) was the highest level i coached. Had a few pretty damn talented kids drafted.....

What happened to this guy?

[mitch51]

He used to play for the Red Sox, then they realized he could hit, so they traded him.
