It was a huge disappointment compared to my highly successful basketball career.

I played baseball for several years, but finally decided to give it up to pursue karate full time.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Kickin ass either way, I like it!

My dad didn't let me try out for the team my freshman because he still resented getting cut despite have to play catcher for the entire tryout week, never getting to even bat. In his defense, i was terrible in little league, and he let me join the lacrosse team instead, which i really enjoyed.

Fun side story, but did you know that Hugo Chavez threw out the first pitch at Shea Stadium once?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like lacrosse too, I just wish it wasn't so bougie and full of shitheads.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it was fun and i was in such great shape from all that running in highschool. My jaw still pops from when i got cross-checked in the face 12 years ago.

Baseball will always remain my passion though. Pro lacrosse just never did it dor me

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I couldn't catch for shit. Also I hated baseball.

What's it like to singlehandedly reversed all the progress the blind community has made in the past 50 years?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm Enrico Palazzo

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Poor aim and a low rate of fire.

...Oh, you meant in baseball? Not just as a fan of those Congressional games?

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Guess you could say... I struck out

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

fruh you can go again, you just gotta wait for your turn in the batting order

The umpire yelled "Yer outta here!" so I left kitty-cri-texas

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The highest compliment I ever got in baseball was 'good eye' which is what they tell all the kids who suck

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemme guess: You played left field?

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Left Field/Designated Grass Picker

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm also bad at catching things

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then be an umpire there's tons of careers in baseball

Look into local leagues and see if you can take the Umpire's test

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I open a bar in Boston instead.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only if I can drink there free

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Only if you can consistently pop off one liners every time you're asked how life is treating you.

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
