    • alabama football
    • state, national & us olympics ping pong champ

    I never knew until this thread that Roy Hobbs was fictional.

    I always thought "The Natural" was based on a true story.

    Roy Hobbs.
    I had a chance to be in the Natural. They had a casting call for ball players. Joe Charboneau asked me if I wanted to go along. I was picked but had a tournament out of town the week they started shooting. Of course I’m sure you know Charboneau made the cut and is shown in a few shots. Hell of a baseball player but it didn’t carry over as a softball player. He was average. But he did have multiple back surgeries by then.

    You guys ever seen the cartoon where Bugs Bunny is a pitcher? Dude did some pretty crazy things with a baseball....

    Edit to add: I also recall Fred Flintstone being a helluva bowler.

    Maybe someone will know this guy and get the joke... :D If not, I am sorry .....

    .......................

    Speedhawk
    Am I the only one in this sub who's actually played organized tackle football before?

    Like half of the comments I've seen on this sub are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous.

    When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity football team) I would get a full-on sprint going and clock the POP TARTS outta whoever had the ball. My coaches called me "speedhawk" as a nickname caus I had such a nose for the football and for those three seasons I was considered the most feared safety in our conference. Senior year I led my team to the state semifinals only to get POP TARTS over by the refs in the 4th but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it)

    So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical redditor. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol
