When I was 15 our team stunk. The coach said if anyone hit a homerun he'd buy the team pizza. I hit a 3-run homer in the first inning over the 300 foot sign in left field. We lost 25-5, but after the game we all piled in his Econoline van and he bought us pizza.
In the same year I was a pitcher. I threw hard, but had control issues. The same coach was warming me up in the bullpen before a game and I hit his foot squarely with a fastball - broke his big toe. He jumped up and down yelling an admirable string of curses and then said "I think you're all warmed up."
