Your most average, mediocre, middle-of-the-road type of moment in athletic competition?

We've got the best, we've got the worst, now why not the most boring, forgettable moment in your childhood memory related to sports?

I'll start.

In a HS football game, I sat on the bench until the final minute. We were up by 14 and the other team was doing an onside kick, so the hands team was on the field. They kicked the ball in my direction, but it went over my head and out of bounds. We then kneeled once to run out the clock and win. I felt accomplished.

I got put in at linebacker in the 9th grade and of course they ran their 23 year old fullback right at me. I grabbed him and fell backwards forcing him to fall on me.

I got pulled immediately and noticed the coaches were laughing at me.

Best tackle of my high school football career. Perfect form. Almost killed the guy. Our entire defense stopped thinking the play was over. Apparently it was an option because the guy I hit didn't have the ball. Ball carrier ran for a 40 year gain.

I solo tackled Dustin Staley (played for BYU) in high school on a kickoff. Grabbed him by the facemask and it wasn't called.

To this day I tell people I gunneysacked him.

In middle school football I was the mvp of the 5th quarter.

I hit a home run off of this future MLB player in Little League. I really wanted him to have a longer career.

I won an award for best athlete at a family reunion.

Why were you playing sports at a family reunion and not trying to get laid?

Got nailed by a nasty one hopper in the left eye, orbit fracture, still picked it up and threw him out at first, then went to the hospital.

Bowled a 260... with bumper lanes.

Grabbed the rim of the single basketball hoop at Eisenhower middle school during lunch and, in slow motion, felt the rim slipping from the tips of my fingers that were holding on for dear life as my momentum sent me flying horizontally back down to earth, knocking the wind out of myself as everyone watched. The subsequent walk to next period with my arm draped over my buddy who was carrying half of my body weight as the feeling in one of my legs was gone was a doozy. I still don't know whether or not I experienced a concussion on that fateful day.

I believe I posted that in the wrong thread, but whatever.

I was voted most improved on my fourth grade boys and girls club basketball team. The following year I won the 'big man' skills challenge only because the girl on the team couldn't make the lay-in, meaning she was faster than me. Still have the trophy.

Was playing volleyball in Team Sports in 11th grade. Was down to just me and one person on the opposing side, who happened to be the starting QB of our football team. He chucked the ball at me at full speed and I end up catching it, clinching the win. While catching it I ended up with a mallet fracture on my left middle finger. Thought it was just extremely jammed and didn't realize it was broke until 2 or 3 months later when I finally went to the doctor.

My finger ended up healing fine (in an albeit slightly fucked up manner) so I didn't get surgery or anything. Hardly noticeable unless I point it out to people though.
