If you could play a professional sport at its highest level, what would it be?

[Yavin4]

For me, it would be Tennis. I would love to be a professional tennis player. You get to travel the world. You hang out with the coolest people. That's the life. I cannot believe that more American men don't play tennis and waste their athletic talent on football.

2. easy, baseball

When I was a but a wee lad, I did Little League. I froze whenever I came up to the plate and rarely swung. I think I had maybe one or two hits that year. My team won the championship despite me, lol ( I was actually on vacation with my family). I still kick myself that I wasn't able to break out of my fear of being hit by the ball. I'm sure I frustrated by coach to no end because I could hit when in the batting cage, but I froze during the game.

Sometimes I like to think that had I fought that fear when I was a kid, I would've made it to the Majors, lol!

3. Tough choice … either baseball or golf

I like the team camaraderie of baseball, but golf is so bucolic.

4. Hockey

If it were about career longevity, travel, making money, etc. there are lots of better choices... but I'd want my name engraved on the Stanley Cup

5. Definitely tennis -

and I want joeybee to be my coach because he actually understands the game

11. Baseball

because of the pay, because it is safer than football, because it doesn't require a person to be tall in order to be good like in basketball, because the position I played in high school (right-field) typically doesn't see that much action in a game, and because a person can reach base less than 30% of the time and still be look at as a success story.

12. NFL
