2) Live in Washington DC area
3) Eagle Scout
3) In three varsity sports score a goal/point/run in my senior year
4) Scored the game winning run from first base without the ball being hit, possible the best baseball play ever seen on any level. (We were down 1-0 in the 7th to St. James, they had there #1 pitcher on the mound, we got a guy on first, made an out, then there was a ball in the dirt, then someone hit a single. Runners on 1st and 3rd. I pinch run for the guy on first and coach calls for the break early. I break and the pitcher doesn’t want to throw the ball with a runner on 3rd. I stop in between first and second and just stand there. Pitcher steps off and eventually throws the ball, I get caught in a rundown for 3 throws, guy on 3rd breaks for home, ball goes to home, throw is high, Greg slides under the catcher and ties the game, I round second and cant find the third baseman because he was involved in my earlier rundown, so I head to 3rd. Catcher sees me and throws to 3rd. I avoid ball, Left fielder is out to lunch, I round bag and score game winning run, get mobbed my team and fans…. Unfortunately there was no American flag to drape around me)
