    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    Played HS and Legion baseball against Tom Browning and Jim Deshaies. Dolphins lineman Brian Sochia was from the school next town over. My school didn't have football.

    I attended the same high school as Jay Schroeder.

    My son was a benchwarmer in HS behind some kid named Mike Stanton. Dude hit baseballs into orbit then, just like Giancarlo does now.

    We had a 6"11" Center when I went to Elgin High School. I was a sophomore when he was a senior. He played for the Utah Jazz for some years. You could see this guy coming down the hallways from a long distance away. Loved going to basketball games back then. His name was Jeff Wilkins.

    My younger brother played against this guy in little league in Temple City.

    Rocky hit a homer run swinging with one arm when they tried to intentionally walk him. He hit one his prior at bat in the same situation but was called out because he stepped on home plate when he was swinging.

    My sister graduated with the Mavs Devin Harris. I graduated in 97, they graduated in 01, so I missed him by one year But I used to go watch him play sometimes when he was a senior, and he dominated everybody.

  • Vince Carter went to my high school. I almost beat him in basketball. Of course i was a senior and he was only in eighth grade.

    I went to grade school with Jack Schitt. He never attained the fame of Pete Incaviglia or Damon Berryhill, but he was a great friend. For a while we were the best of friends.

    Jack Schitt was the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, a fertilizer salesman, married Miss O. Needeep They had one son, Jack. My best friend in grade school.

    Years later, Jack later married married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt.

    Against her parents' objections, Deap Schitt married her cousin Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.

    Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and, because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.

    Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chick N. Schitt.

    Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.

    The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials.

    The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

    Jack and I were friends for a while, but the complete Schitt family was just a little too intense for me.

    I happen to be an immigrant descendant of this family. I've just recently discovered my original birth certificate in the same attic where I found my grandfather's estate of prized sports collectibles.

    The Giants player above.. that is quite hilarious. The best part is when he tried to get back up again. DOOF.

    I had no idea. Guess I never really knew Jack Schitt.

    Didn't go to school with anybody famous - had a friend who got to last round of cuts with the Lions once but that's it. However, I did coach this guy who had a cup of coffee in the majors:

    Great kid. It was truly a pleasure knowing him.

    And my brother-in-law played for the Durham Bulls for about 5 minutes:

  • I'm a teacher, and Redskins Lineman Ryan Kerrigan was in my class as a freshman. Nice kid.

    "Did they also go to school with the Witt triplets? Nit, Half, and Dim?"

    The Lee triplets went there too. Ug Lee, Beast Lee, and Home Lee. They didn't go on many dates.

    Went to high school with TJ Dillashaw’s brother. His brother and I were 4 years younger, so we didn’t cross paths with TJ in school.

    Also, Aaron Judge is from the next county over, so all my friends played football against him.

    Judge must've looked like a monster on the football field.

    Went to HS with Steve Garvey.

    Did "not" play with him since I couldn't make the varsity squad that year.

    We did go out occasionally outside school - we shared the same best friend.

    I liked Steve.

    I played high school basketball in Brooklyn against Chris. He used to light me up for about 25 points in less than a half and then he would sit down and his brother would come in and get me for another 30 or so. It didn’t help that they also had Roger McCready.

    I know that I have mentioned this on Blowout, but not sure if I have here. I went to college with deceased wrestler formerly known as "Chyna". Of course back in 1988 we just knew her as Joanie!
