    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.

    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.

    I ran a 5:50 mile on a badly sprained ankle as a 6th grader, then did 25 push-ups on a broken wrist as a 7th grader.

    BennyBoover tried to avatar troll me. I reverse trolled him by ignoring him. He went away and went THUD. I didn't burn a single calorie.

    I had 22 tackles in a game that we lost 3-6.

    Sorry, but this qualifies as a humblebrag

    While playing Colt baseball in the summer of '87, I got a hanging curve ball and hit a soft ground ball between the 3rd baseman and shortstop.

    The pitcher looked bored, which caused me to be bored. When I looked at my dugout after reaching base, everyone had a "why are we even out here" look on their face. The game should have been called right then and there so we could do something productive like pick up trash on the side of the road or clean toilets.

    Everyone on the baseball field that day was a mediocre waste of space.
