    My dad pitched on slow pitch softball, and William Andrews was actually on his team one year! It was “unlimited arc” pitch rule, so when my dad got 2 strikes on a batter he would backhand pitch it about 35 feet in the air (no joke). William said to him, “I’m sure glad I’m on your team and don’t have to try and hit your pitches!” This was circa 1983.

    My USVBA volleyball men’s A team beat Clemson University’s team in the semis, then we won the championship match to take the 1990 Palmetto Region title. That qualified us to go to Gainesville FL to play in the Eastern zonal tournament, but we couldn’t get enough guys to make the trip. Fun memories! (I was a 6-foot-4 middle blocker). I played a lot of basketball growing up but volleyball was just more fun to play! Side note: that year our club’s AA team went to play in the nationals in Raleigh and played against a team from California that had TWO US Olympians! They lost that one.

    PS also ran a marathon in Antarctica in 1997 but finished way in the back of the pack…

    In my mind, finishing a marathon is reward enough. God invented cars so we could go 26.2 miles.
