Tell Us Your Awesome/Humiliating Childhood Sports Stories

Readers! We want your childhood sports stories. Heroic ones, and embarrassing ones. The time you closed your eyes, swung from your heels, and turned the dimpled Golden Boy's best fastball into a screeching rocket for a double. The time you heaved a half-court buzzer-beater, missed the basket by 25 yards, and hit a septuagenarian in the head. The time you turned an unassisted triple-play in kickball and won the fleeting adoration of the cutest girl in school, like this guy did:

When I was in 4th grade, I became a kickball legend. I was playing 2nd base, with runners on 1st and 2nd base, with no outs. Anyway, up comes the opposing team captain and he kicks a screaming line drive right to me (out #1). I catch the ball chest high, center mass. I pivot slightly to my right and notice the the runner on 2nd is desparately trying to get back to the base. I throw the ball and it hits him in the shoulder before he can regain the base (out #2). The ball, miraculously, one-hops right back to me. I turn almost ninety degrees to my left to discover the runner on 1st trying to get back to his base. I throw a perfect strike and hit him dead center of his back (out #3). Nobody can believe what just happened. I can't believe what just happened. It's dead silent for a lifetime. Then everybody starts jumping on me. And then the cutest girl in school - Terry Rainer- runs up to me and breathlessly tells me, 'you're so amazing!' not once, but twice. i didn't get laid but that was a pretty good fucking day of kickball. to quote phil connors, 'THAT was a pretty good day'

Man, that is one good childhood sports story. We want more of them. Post yours in the discussion below, or email us.
