Hey, We had a hoop in our driveway when I was a kid, so I’m a former player as well. Me and my friends played wiffle ball in the street, so I can be mentioned in the same breath as MLB players.
I was a pretty good HS football player back when Fred Biletnikoff was a great wide receiver for the Raiders, so I can say “when I played football Fred Biletnikoff was winning superbowls”.
