well since we have all these threads about baseball now i might as well add my claim.  A kid who graduated a few years ago who played for my high school baseball team got drafted 12th round to the yankees today. High 90's throwing closer.  I singled off him in a JV vs V scrimmage when i got pulled up to play on jv. Thats my cliam to fame.  Anyway,  its nice to see someone go pro from such a small town like mine.

ya a kid from rochester named Cito Culver got drafted in 1st round 32nd pick to the yankees. my team used to play him all the time and he was always an animal. super nice kid and hes gone through some family troubles in the past year, so its nice to see him get this.

Thats dope that you singled off him!  Maybe someday you might go to a game of the pros, and watch him, and be like, shit i singled off him, and impress a girl and well, who knows! haha

my claim to fame is i was at my uncles house when i was like 6 and I played wiffle ball with Ryan Zimmerman......He was like 11-12 at the time

Then my uncle moved and he became neighbors and also employed Mark Reynolds, and now they are best of friends......Too bad I live in NY not Virginia with my uncle haha

I declared for the NBA draft, however I was not chosen...... I probably should have at least been on my college team before I declared, but whatever.....and I might have lied about my height when I declared.....Oh well......

Since this is a baseball claim fest. I got pitching lessons from an blue jays pitcher when I was little. And I never hit a foul ball when we each got to bat against him. Weak claim hahahah

yeah it's ziomek. he still hasn't decided whether or no to go to college. our entire town is currently worshipping him. The whole school showed up for his first playoff game and he got 13 K's like that.

yeah how do you guys know about him? but yeah he's decided to go to vanderbilt for at least 2 years, so he got picked in the 13th round. if he didnt go to college he woulda gotten 3rd or 4th round. but yeah he's pretty much everyone's idol right now in my town

how about my team beat 6th round draft pick Kevin Gausmann in playoffs to eliminate his team just a few weeks ago. when he lost he spiked his glove into the ground and walked away crying. and there were so many scouts there to watch him do it.
