Good for you!! I had one or two good seasons in baseball. I rode the bench alot of the other years. Had a condition called lazy muscle syndrome. Would kind of come and go and when it came legs would just get SO weak. But the two good years were lots of fun!!!
Later on I got Fast and did the mile in close to 5. Really built upper body and could bench 350.
Now that’s my weight lol I’m doomed

I had a similar experience. I rode the pine for several years, had two good years when I was 11 and 12 years old (after a coach worked one on one with me on my hitting), then pretty much stunk for the remainder of my baseball career. I don’t have a medical excuse, however. Where I played, the 13-17 year olds were all grouped together in one league. As a 13 year old, I got beaned in the head by a 17 year old throwing about 200 miles per hour and was never able to hang in the box afterward (Obviously I exaggerate about how hard he threw, but it seemed that bad to my freshly beaned 13 year old self :) )
