When I was a kid in the local recreational soccer league, I scored a goal with my left foot which helped us win the regular season league championship trophy. Other than that, I once hit the 9 ball in off the break in 9 ball. It impressed my date.
In all seriousness, I had 2 things happen in theEl Niño winter of 2007-2008. One was a 2 wave hold down at Black's Beach that almost drowned me. I ain't shit but got mad props on my failed drop. The second was a successful ride on a double-overhead at Redondo Beach Breakwater.
Last year sinking a 25 foot downhill par putt on the last hole to win the league championship for my team. I actually shot a personal best for the round as well, but my opponent was also hot. It came down to the last hole and what turned out to be my last shot. He had to chip in to tie, and he didn't.
A hole in one.... Winning two high school state titles in baseball (going 10-15 in one and 15-22 in the other with a total of 5 hr for both.)....winning Amatuer State Baseball (going 11-18 with 2 hr.)
Just remembered, I got my rocks off playing on my high school curling team!
In fact, I put them in every end.
They made me vice skip for that.
And they said I couldn't hack it. Did any of you know that curling was such a degenerate sport?
Come to think of it, has anyone else noticed that all games originating In Scotland all seem to require hefting large objects and tossing them (curling, caber toss, Scottish hammer, etc), or beating something with a club (golf)?
In my football days, I was a bad-ass offensive lineman. Pulling guard. I was the second heaviest guy on the time but I was faster than our running backs.
O-lineman get no respect. We get all the blame when the QB and running game suck but get ZERO credit when they do well. Oh well, that's life. But offensive lineman typically are the smartest guys on the team. Remember when QB Vince Young only scored 6 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic test at the NFL combine.
In my days we played both sides of the ball. I centered and d-tackle. Loved to ply line because you got involved in every single play.
In baseball I was the catcher. Same thing, every play. When I heard my knee, right field, and it didn't take me long to get out of the game. Almost never involved in a play.

clubber,
Interesting you were the center on the football team and a catcher in baseball.
That's the way it was on my team. Our center also was the catcher on the baseball team. I wonder if that's common.
