    Went to bat with a men's softball team back when I was in my twenties. The town stud/show-off who was a football coach at a local highschool and thought he was God's gift to women was in left field. He loved to talk smack all game long. I was kinda smallish (though I was in pretty good shape) but I guess he thought I was a wimp. So when I came to bat he moved in shallow and called in all of the other outfields to come in shallow. I connected and as I rounded first I seen him running towards the fence. It went straight over his head. I got an inside-the-park homer. Needless to say, he was humiliated and kept his mouth shut the rest of that game. That was my moment of glory!

    Playing baseball in the parent/kid friendly game, I was pitching and one kids dad cranked a line drive right at my crotch, took several seconds for everyone realize that Id caught the ball and wasn't a newly minted transgender.

    Should be others, but I recall as an 8th or 9th grader in practice, pulling on a "student body" right play, leaving my feet (when one could do that), going horizontal, and laying out 2 defenders, to oohs and aahs from the key coach.

    I would also cite 2 Par 3  holes in one on public courses with buddies, but then you said "athlete". 😜 (I am not a golfer.)

    That is awesome. I can so picture that, and how cool it would be. O'Neill was a great baseball player.

    Sub 8 minute mile in jeans when I was a junior in high school.


    About 4 years ago on Thanksgiving I was playing football in the south bronx with some neighborhood kids and my friend Ben who lived there. First play of the game I ran the kick off back for a touchdown. Later in the game our QB throws deep but it's off. One kid is waiting to catch it. I yell at him, he gets nervous, and the ball bounces off his chest in to my arms and I take it in for a touchdown. Everyone is rolling around on the ground laughing. Oh these kids were in middle school so the accomplishments weren't THAT impressive.
