Did you know if you hit him over the head with a shovel—he would’ve turned into 40 gold coins ?

Nope, 2 grand slams in one inning. Only happened once. Fernando Tatis (cardinals) at LA dodgers. Was watching that game when it happened.

Me as well and didn’t start playing until I was in my 30’s. It is a very difficult game but can be rewarding.
Now you tell me! WTF. Where were you in 1986.
The greatest coaches aren't/weren't the best players. You might have been a scoring machine, but it doesn't mean you can design plays, for example. Totally different mindset and skills.
More often than not, it is the guys on the bench for years that make the best coaches. They are watching the game from a different perspective, and able to watch their coaches. Another reason is that the game usually "comes easy" to the best players, making it difficult for them to understand most players don't see what they see, can't do what they once could do.
I had a roommate that screwed over 3000 lbs in one semester. Him and 3 other guys bet $1000 on who could screw the most poundage in a semester. Only rule was no girl could be counted twice. Weight estimates were on honor system. You should have seen some of robust women he bought back to the dorm.
Well when Kyle Schwarber was a freshman in high school (I was a junior), I struck him out the first two at-bats. But the third at-bat he hit a ball back so hard at my shin I couldn’t pitch for two weeks. I did manage to throw him out at first base though.
We played this on Friday nights in Richmond, everyone throw in $20 and who picked up the ugliest woman got the money. Hogging 101 is what we called it.
I forget what name they had on the poster board that kept track of the competition, but, it did have hog in the title. I would guess you and your friends got extremely drunk on Friday nights.
Like morg I also won the knights of Columbus free throw state championship but actually did it twice, first at 12 and then 14. 2nd time was in 1982 and finals began right after listening to the cats fall in the dream game. My prize was a signed basketball by the 82 team (still have it). Morg said they shot 100 free throws but we only shot 25 at every stop of the competition. Think I won with 20/25.
For a $1000 bucks to a college kid, yeah line up the bigguns. And he probably felt like he was doing them a favor.
I once stopped a car on Rose Street in front of Biological Sciences Bld (this back in early 90’s), two females in car, nice looking college girls. I convinced the driver to make out with me through the driver side window. In a span of two minutes, sitting in the street. Hell of an accomplishment at the time.
My roommate was from a wealthy family and was one crazy guy. His mother told him one night when they came to visit him that he was despicable. He was a Attorney and later became Solicitor of Chattanooga.
I have been a golfer for 47 years and I have never made a hole in one. 6 inches is as close as I ever got. Sort of hard to believe in my prime I was a 7 hdcp. and never made a hole in one.
My son went on to play in college, but in his last HS game he hit 3 home runs.
When Michael Jordan was playing baseball in Birmingham some guy I know said he and his friends were playing a pick up game on a outdoor court and MJ drove up and asked to shoot with them.
Everyone else can just quit, this is the hands down winner! I'm still laughing.
