city league baseball. pretty sure all our pitchers sucked ass, so our coach had everyone throw pitches in tryouts. i dunno wtf i did, i just tried to throw strikes. coach was impressed, had me start like the very next game. it was vs. like a good team too, only one guy could really hit my pitches (he wore like a facemask helmet! so badass!). i ended up striking out 10 batters, allowing like 2 runs i think (no exaggeration...i struck out soooo many people and was for sure double-digits) and i had no idea why. maybe had some mean curve. after that, everyone was like, hey, u might be a good pitcher, keep working at it kid! so then i like, tried to learn how to pitch the "right" way. completely f-ed me up. next game i threw so many balls. disappointed my teammates and fans. then when i tried to revert back, f-ed that up too for a future game, only threw strikes at like 30 mph, and got rocked, gave up like double-digit runs.
oh what could have been.
also was on a rec basketball team 7th grade, where like out of 6-8 teams, manhattan parks and rec decided to put the dozen solid athletes on 2 teams. my team was me and this one black kid who was solid, like the rest of my team was like filled w/ nerds. well, we hung on till the end, when we were down by two, with 5 seconds to play. black teammate takes the inbound pass, chucks a 50 footer, and nails it to win the game. actually before that, we were down by two, with them shooting free throws, and i was taunting the shooter, telling him to f*ck up and miss. they actually used that as an excuse for losing to the refs, while i lol'd, celebrating with champagne and hookers. grcoat amirite?
