3. The Mets
Our little league adopted professional sports team names and unlike our namesake, we were a juggernaut; winning the championship two of the three years I played.

6. My first one was red. My final one was green...
That was the 2nd year.

Somebody (unprovoked) threw a baseball at me and it hit the back of my head, hard. (ouch)

Wow, I hadn't remembered that for a very long time. Glad I just did.
