Whats the most unforgetable sports thing thats ever happened to you ?

[SoCal]

two items, though i was an athlete throughout high school, these moments are sometime before then..

in my younger football days (10 yrs old?).. i was playing DE, got thru, sacked the QB in a crucial drive, caused a fumble and my team recovered. my teammate who recovered went celebrating off the field and the coaches/team thought he had also caused the fumble. i walked off the field a bit dazed with a broken finger . walked over where my dad was standing and he knew it was me who created the havoc. he popped my finger back in place , dumped his coke and we used the cup of ice to stop the swelling. it was a quiet moment between dad and son. neither of us felt the need to announce to the coaches that i had made the big hit or that i was hurt. we just had one of those moments and all i needed to know was that my dad knew... and he did.

in younger baseball days... i had recieved a game ball from coaches a game before the one we were playing. the coaches were giving a game ball to a new guy each game. in this particular game we were playing the next skill level team above us.. the "A" team. we were "B" team. We lost 14-9 in a rout, but i had all nine RBI including a grandslam. after the game, the coaches gave a game ball to someone who hadn't gotten one yet. when the game was over and guy were going home .. a few teammates sought me out and gave me a ball of their own. it was a just a dirty old foul ball they found under the bleachers... but they wanted me to have it. i still have it of course and it means more than any othet trophy or what have you.

glory days. yea, they'll pass you by... glory days

Standing at a urinal @ Detroit Racecourse on a Saturday afternoon when I felt I was being stared at by the guy next to me. Look over and Dennis Rodman is looking at me smiling with a piece of popcorn stuck to his lip. Feeling Awkward standing side by side with a dude in the mens restroom I asked if he had any winners, he siad he did not. After zipping up I looked at him and told him he had a popcorn kernal stuck to his lip, he laughed and said thanks bro.

Wow... I thought you guys would be more outraged at the JV coach who put in his Varsity All-state player to try to steal a base.

I can't remember who we were playing...I think it was Marshalltown. Those no-class pricks

Well lets recap.

We got a football thug swiping paper , we've eaten hotdogs off the floor , we totaled a car on new years eve.

We've played softball on a team sponsored by the United Nations.

But most of all we had our dick in our hand while chatting with Dennis Rodman .

Where's Reader's Digest when you need them...

We were playing a pickup game during the summer. We had winner next. I look over and the team that won had Terry Kirby, Chris Slade (both former NFL players, Wayne Kirby (former MLB player), Joe Smith (NBA #1 pick) and a kid named Cornel Parker (played bball for UVA). It was me, my buddy (who was MVP of the State All-Star game) and Tony Rutland (former Wake Forest guard).

I knew the Kirby's and slade from HS and was familiar with Smith and Parker from AAU ball. Rutland's dad used to come in my gym all the time and I knew he was a good shooter. Tony said he has a kid who was gonna play high school with him and an 8th-grader who would ball with us. He was going into 9th at the time and we were playing guys that were seniors and a grown man. Out comes these two little kids, one about 130 soaking wet and the other just a little bigger. I'm like we're gonna get killed.

Well needless to say we didn't lose another game all day and the two kids I mentioned, one was Allen Iverson and the other was Ronald Curry. It didn't dawn on me until 6 months later I went to see them play and over 2 years later before I head "this Curry kid" mentioned.

I guess it would be the time I dropped a hotdog on the floor of Market Square Arena. I picked it up and ate it anyhow in front of 1000's. I was a little drunk and the line was long at the concession stand. Also, my sophomore yr in HS, I was @ 180 and on the wrestling team we did not have a heavyweight, so I got the honors when the opponent didn't have a guy in my weight class. I was taking on guys 100 lbs bigger than me. It was hell, but fun. I had a perfect record in the heavyweight class.

THATS AWSOME!!!!!!

so Rodman is a "meatwatcher"?

 

[jjgold]

Was in a class A tackle football game with lots of ex college guys and was starting tailback at (5-4, 265lbs) at the time and turned the corner on a power sweep and went 70 yards for a td.

If that is not an athelete I do not know what is giving my weight
