As i watch baseball-- TB/Oakland-- i think of my sports days. when i had friends who played sports, i played sports. but i shifted friends. they didn't play sports but made good grades. 1 was saalutatorian. the other was in a movie with Michael J Fox. i was in a movie with Richard Pryor. but when i played football, i played 2 strings. wingback & noseguard. coach said id gotten mvp if they gave that reward. except my next friends didn't play sports. i tried out for basketball & got cut. so i never tried out again.
