Alan is amazing. I love to pitch horseshoes, and I pitch every week. The mental strength to pitch 90% is beyond what most of us will ever even realize can exist.

My all time favorite is Ted Allen, who holds the world’s consecutive ringer record (in a sanctioned tournament). And he did it two different times... pitching 72 ringers in a row. :)

My percentage? About 30% officially. My consecutive ringer best? 7 in a row, which I’ve done 4-5 times. I have a mental block about that 8th ringer.

I’ll bet there’s some ‘possum poacher up at the end of some West Virginia holler that’s better.

Hmm, the Tiger Woods of Horseshoes. Now if he could only get his pancake waitress routing down.

I used to be the best kickball player in the world.
