I played, although I was really good at swinging hard and missing most the time, worked well until pitchers learned more than 1 pitch and it became swing and miss everytime, I did much better at contact sports
My dad was the coach so can't say I sat. 2B all the way from little league to high school when I got moved to 3B and said screw it. That team was horrible.
PS I had one time pitching in little league in a game we were trailing by a ton. The first pitch I threw it about 6 feet behind the batters' head. I ended up striking out one and walking four or five. It wasn't good. Pitching was not my calling, at least the control portion.
I played 3rd. Remember going 16 for 16 to start the season. I had one inside the park homerun after getting pegged in the back the AB before(it was a p-rod with no fence). Can't remember much else except some kids would cry when they struckout.
yeah i did it was in the teens, mostly singles, remember hitting one off straight away center fence. I think I missed tryouts but was in one of the lower leagues. Sorta like AAA for little league level.
I was a really good little leaguer. Made the all-star game every year and all that. Then I saw a curveball. Struckout on 3 called strikes 4 times, allwhile running away from the pitch so it didn't hit me. I quit that day.
Batting was solid but played Catcher...could throw kids out from my knees...until I cracked my elbow playing summer hockey...it all went to shite after that...
I must hold the little league record or something. Junior league I was stuck with wearing a Dodger uniform. Hell on earth when I got that phone call. We did win the league that year. Fun times.

Oh you pegged NES right on the head. He might be decent at riding a dirt board through the back woods, or juggling his balls during a midnight rain storm. But throw this guy a football and watch him look like a deer lost in the headlights. He shoots a basketball with two hands from his hip and has the classic girly limp wristed throwing motion when it comes to tossing a baseball or even an orange across the office for that matter. The guy was skipped over in the school yard skill department if you know what I mean,(and I think you do...) Not knocking the guy or anything, i mean if you need somebody to ride a jackass across the desert while reciting the Jerky Boys , hell he's your man. But if you need a pinch hit down 1 in the 8th with 2 outs ... NES ain't even an option off the bench. He's the dude in the back bleachers smoking a roach and opening the crackerjack prize with utter delight. I mean I love him like a brother (red headed step brother that is ..)but whose kidding who? He's uncordinated, probably rode the short bus to school and back in Ol Mizzoo I doubt his moonshining duties with Pop left him much time for extra curricular activities.
