ITT: i am outside watching the patriots parade

i was horrid at baseball. i was always the kid who stayed in benchwarming because we had too many players. i even lost a fingernail from swinging at a pitch and was still called out on strikes. then i joined band.
 
I was on my high school's soccer, badminton, volleyball, track and basketball team. I wasn't the best player on any of the teams but I can tell you I never had a coach yell at me for lack of effort or choking at a competition...
