David - how about 3 box baseball and hockey with sneakers on

. I was a great pitcher

in 3 box baseball, with a deadly stopper pitch (I think that is what we called it,, the one with the backspin).
Off the point - over the first floor windows across the street = HOME RUN.
I was also the self proclaimed trivia king of my neighborhood. My friends would pull out Baseball Digest, which naturally had the rosters of all 16 teams on the back pages. I could name every guy on every team.
Cannot do that now

,,, but I think my son could come pretty close.
