My favorite sports quote ever, by John Kruk

When some woman was hassling him about smoking while he was drinking.

"You should not smoke, you are an athlete."

"Lady, I am not an athlete, I am a baseball player."

So activities that depend on precise hand eye coordination more than strength or ability to absorb punishment are not sports, good to know.

How long do you think you could bounce a golf ball on a pitching wedge?

How many tries do you think you would need to bounce a golf ball up and hit it in mid air?

Remember that commercial where he was doing tricks, bouncing the ball around, between his legs and catching it on the face of the club, drilling it outta sight at the end? Do you think that was computer generated or something? He was bored, doing that stuff while they were setting up a shot and it was so striking to see what he could do they made a commercial out of that.

Professional athletes are generally good at whatever physical challenge they attempt. I remember seeing Cliff Branch, the Raiders wideout, who is a little guy, dunk a basketball hard with both hands at a charity basketball game. I would imagine many pro athletes would be outstanding at several sports, Charlie Ward, Deon Sanders, Bo Jackson
