Re: Sports: How far did you go?
Golf and track all 4 years, baseball for first two years in HS. Was decent but not great at all 3, and was the only white sprinter on the track team. Only thing I did in college other than intramurals was club swim team (although, I did go to a major D-I school - if I'd gone to a smaller school I'd probably have tried out for track or baseball).

Re: Sports: How far did you go?
I played soccer in the 2nd highest division in my last "junior" year (age group 17 & 18). Now this is in Germany, so I take a bit of pride out of that. Especially, considering that I only started playing club soccer at the age of 16.
Nevertheless, our team sucked compared to the other teams, and I didn't look any better compared to most of the other players, either. But at least I got to play against a few guys who ended up playing in the professional divisions a few years later. Oh, and I don't think I could've made it to go pro even if I started playing soccer at a younger age. Most of my skill came from hard work, talentwise, I don't have what it takes to get to the top.

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.
