Back when I played little league fútbol, I remember sitting on the bench (either during a game or practice) when a ball suddenly hit me in the gut. That’s when I wanted to quit the sport.
The best thing that happened to me was when we moved out of a small town with the reigning county football champions. This was 70’s gladiator football. I now suspect that my grandfather’s dementia was from playing leather helmet and heavy sweater 1900’s Nebraska football.
yepper – I remember racing Bob Hayes for a grape NeeHi back in the day. MMMM that tasted good Bob was just a little off his speed that day. And then there was the time I faked ol Bob Cousey out of his ‘jockstrap’ (can I write that?) and then dunked over Wilt Chamberlain in a pick up game in Boston or was it that I faked ol Wilt out and dunked over Bob. Guess it don’t really matter cause I probably did both. Yepper could have been a contender, but a bad knee, did me in.
There’s audio out there somewhere of Donny claiming to be “the best baseball player in all of New York state in high school, and a pretty good wrestler, too.”
I once scored 42 points in a basketball game, my best friend won the game with a two-point layup at the buzzer, because he stopped to get a drink of water from the drinking fountain. He was the only one at our end of the court and we got the defensive rebound and passed him the ball. SMH he was the hero of the game.

The Chinese have a saying: “The older a man gets, the faster he could run as a boy.”
