I planned on picking up the scraps after Mebert took the true powerhouse.
Same with my hopes of ever being a professional athlete. Well actually that year was 1977 when I was born white without a hint of athletic ability.
I used to be.... Oh so briefly, but it was sweet....Did I tell anyone that I am actually a real life professional athlete...

Actually MMA. My fight record is still up on MMA underground and Sherdog, even after 11 years .Pretty easy, 1 win via submission. Back in the day, there was only amateur MMA, and when they finally started having pro shows here, I got offered a bout even though I was 36. Took it, even though it cost me as much as I made ,(CAT scan, blood work) . I won in the 1st round, but tore my quad on both sides. All she wrote( but a rock star for a day) .Then I dove into coaching baseball, running tournaments, and teaching MMA. I have 1 son that's about to turn pro in MMA, another that's signed to play college baseball, all the reward I'll ever needIf you are being serious(since I was of course not be)... then that is impressive no matter how long it was... I will assume baseball, what level did you reach??

Thanks Milky. It really was. I didn't realize I was hurt till the next day, it hurt, but thought it was a strain. It's crazy, when we came back out, this guy followed my best friend and I all the way around the arena until I finally turned on him, figured he was a drunk looking for trouble or a friend of the guy I beat .Then he says, "can I have your autograph"....I was floored. Signed several more, but the best part was the two 20 year old girls who gave me their room key and said come by when you're ready.....That's why I've stressed to my 20 year old(who looks like a model), if you're gonna be a fighter.....don't get marriedImpressive... Just being offered one fight must have felt amazing... And winning must have been even better despite getting hurt...
