[ Q + BQ ] Did you ever want and/or dream of being a professional baseball player when you were a young child?
Personally I always wanted to be a professional baseball player when I was very, very young. I played for 17 years of my life until I was forced to quit because of serious rotator cuff injuries. Did you ever have this same dream as me to be in the major leagues?
BQ: Did you ever play in an organized baseball league? If so, elaborate.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Steve Garvey (must've been the hair). I played a bit of little league, but to be honest I was one of those geeky kids who was so scared of making mistakes and getting yelled at that I ended up making tons of mistakes and getting yelled at...a lot.
I still enjoyed the game and played "pick-up" baseball with kids in my neighborhood through high school. Through college I coached Little League and played in recreational leagues, but nothing that you'd call "organized."
BQ: I didn't play again in an "organized" league until I was 40. It's a 16 team league of guys mostly in their 20s and 30s. We got doctors & lawyers mixed in with former college and minor league players.
I'm the oldest guy on my team, but I seem to be the only guy who knows how to shorten up his swing to hit to the right side with a man on 2B, or go for a deep fly with a man on 3B.
Considering that most guys on my first-place Dodger team can't seem to do that who knows....maybe I could've made it to the Show.? Somehow, I think the fact that I need a full tube of Flex-all after each game tells me otherwise...
