    I'd love to be out there tossing gas in the 9th inning of a world series game.

    I actually was semi-part of one of these situations. It was overtime in a game against our biggest rivals who happened to be ranked number 2 in the state and undefeated at the time. A player on our team, who happened to start at safety for the other school's football team since we had a co-op with them for football, stepped to the line with .2 seconds left and game tied. He needed to make one to win and the other 4 of us in the game were down at the other end of the court on our knees praying he'd make one. He missed the first, but swished in the second and the crowd went nuts. They almost got a T because a few of them rushed the court early, but after the .2 ran off the fans rushed the court and it was probably the most electrifying thing I've ever been a part of.
