Went to small HS and if you played baseball or basketball you were expected to play football so I played that also. I was just a body out there. I think skiing is/was my best sport.
Some years ago, our high school team from my sophomore year was inducted into the school's HOF. At the dinner, the coach who was in the early stages of dementia, was introducing players and telling a story or two about each of us. I had left to go to a prep school the day after we won the first Mass Super Bowl, so he had a hard time coming up with anything on me. He asked me to help him out and remind him what positions I played. I responded that I was the Hall of Fame Blocking bag holder... Best laugh I have gotten in front of an audience.
