Have you ever hit a home run? Scored a touchdown? hit a buzzer beater? Made an albatross?

    6 yard game winning touchdown off a tipped pass (the only score of the game). Got carried off the field by my teammates. That was pretty cool.

    Had some home runs and touchdowns. I've bowled a 300 game.

    I was once coaching a 15 year old baseball team. We were having batting practice, and I asked to take a couple of swings. Took the first pitch over the left field wall. I handed the bat to the kid and said, "That's enough."

    After a couple of years of playing in a softball league, I finally learned the technique necessary to put one over the fence... unfortunately the first one over in real game action counted as an out (weird tournament rule for a weird tournament)... I still count it ;)

    Bennett, there are several rules variants that can cause home runs to be outs in softball leagues, to prevent some teams from just jacking it over the fence every time up. There might be a 3 home run limit. Or the 'one up' rule where a team can only have 1 more HR than the opponent, so as long as both teams are hitting them, you can keep hitting them.

    That reminds me of the only time I ever hit a walk off home run. Our team was down by somewhere around 15 runs. Two outs. Last inning. No chance our team could come back to win. I hit a home run to end the game, it's just that we didn't win, because it was an out. I still count it as a walk off homer. =)

    Sadly, I have none. I don't sport.

    Two 2 home run games. One in high school and one in college. No holes in one in golf but quit playing with a 6 handicap. Probably most proud of 3rd place age group finish in a triathlon in 2013. I'll be more proud when its a first place finish.

    Bowled a perfect 300, and 750 series.

    Finished a half-marathon which I'm seriously proud of.

    I hit a game winning shot from just under half court. It was AWESOME! I finished my first tri last fall.

    I won a martial arts state tournament a few years ago. Kicked the girl in the back of the head with the back of my foot. She was a good foot taller then me. She cried. Didn't want to fist bump. Victory was oh so sweet.

    I am terrible at any and all sports. I can cycle and I used to be able to fight. That's it.

    I sure do miss fighting. I really want to join MMA now.

    I won the potato sack race in every field day and color war I ever competed in. From 1st grade through high school I had a lock on the event. What can I say, I've always been great in the sack.

    My first time playing short stop for my softball team, a guy hit the ball right to me and I caught it. It hurt like hell, but I was pretty freakin' excited about it. He was pissed because he didn't think I would catch it.

    No, but I used to draw with poop on the wall as a baby, apparently. OH and I get strikes and spares on my last few turns to bowl and I'm not quite sure why.

    I play sports. Things happen. Touchdowns. Home runs. Game winning shots. I don't remember specifics. They were fun. They still happen. I hope they keep happening. Yay sportsball.
