This is a great thread!
Here I am in little league. We played six-inning games, and our pitcher once struck out all 18 batters straight, a perfect perfect game.
I, on the other hand, have no stats to back this up, but I'm pretty sure I was the worst player ever to play in my town. If any kid was worse than me, I feel really awful for them.
But I turned it around as a dad, and on the very same fields I stunk up. Turns out I'm a phenomenal pitcher, at least in coach-pitch. I grooved them in so perfectly that every girl on my daughter's team would tee off on me. I hit bats so well that by the end of the season, the dads on the opposing teams would ask me to pitch to their kids so they could slug some, too.
