Default Re: Sports: How far did you go?

Baseball: Played in adult leagues until I hit 30. I'll pick it up again someday. Highlight of my career was a tryout for the Kansas City Royals. Had the best day ever in the field and at the plate. I was wearing an Ole Miss baseball T-shirt and one of the scouts asked me how long I had played there for. The shirt was a gift from a friend, but knowing that a MLB scout assumed from my play that I could play in the SEC was a big rush! I also took BP at Bank One Ballpark for a charity fundraiser.

Tennis: All conference senior year of HS. Tennis in rural Indiana isn't exactly the same as Florida or California, though. I did hit with a few of the IU players when I was there, and learned enough to know how bad I really was. I did work for the ATP stop in Indianapolis in 1993. Got to meet a few of the top names and see how they lived and partied.
