[Perfect Stu]

Germy, I am a former outfielder as well. I've never had the top speed to play center, so I played either right or left, depending on if some other fielder had a better arm. I was a good fielder, but a better hitter. In the provincial little league at 13 years old (the teams that potentially qualify for the Little League World Series), I hit over .400 and had an over .550 on base %. (good eye ) I BARELY made the team because nobody knew me to start the year...and by the end of the season, I was starting and batting 3rd. Coaches named me most improved player by far.

My most shining moment though, didn't shine. I was in left field...and this dude pounded a line drive right off the fence. A kid who was on first was running for home, and I absolutely GUNNED this throw...one-hopper, RIGHT ON THE MONEY...best throw I've ever made, BY FAR. Catcher grabs it, goes for the tag and LOSES THE BALL!!! An out would have won us the game...instead, we lost. To one of the top teams in the province. Ah well
