great hitter ( before the batting cages).

When I was in junior high, a few elementary schools merged together there.

About 5 guys from another school were messing with me...they beat me up.

Subsequently, one of those guys was the softball pitcher during gym class. I was naturally a little salty after getting beat up.

He pitched the ball to me, and I hit a line drive that bounced off the pitchers head and knocked him down. He couldn't get his glove up quickly enough.

We became friends after that.
