[Mr. dB]

I wanted to be a Ferrari. 250 GTO. But I can't speak Italian.

 

[Mr. dB]

Oh, you said "sports star". I thought it said "sports car". Never mind.

 

[Mr. dB]

Gimme a break, it was either that or a parody thread.

 

[Oceano]

assuming the white thing is a joke, how tall do you have to be to be a linebacker?

Not sports...but I wanted to be a professional ballerina...and was on track to do it...then I tore my achilles tendon and that was that.

I played (pitcher) professional baseball in the minor leagues for 2 years until my damn elbow decided to blow out.

I was living the dream for a moment there, and then it was taken away from me in a blink. I wish I could go back. I had the potential to be an everyday MLB starter. I threw 94mph, and had a sick change up. My best attribute was accuracy. In high school I walked 9 guys the whole 4 years in varsity ball in about 140 innings.
