Would you want to be an Olympic Gold winner?
#1 golfer in the world?
Be a great boxer? Tennis player? Sprinter? Swimmer?
How about a Super Bowl winning QB?
If you could be any athlete who / what would it be?

I'd be a pitcher who can pitch no hitters and then hit a grand slam. National League of course.

Well, generally my fantasies run more toward musician, but I would love to be a runner, long distance.

When I was 13, I wanted to be at least like Olga Korbut. She was so cute and had such personality, not to mention grace and superior athletic ability.

I wouldnt want to be a major league catcher from the 70's and 80's because we got one of those working at my jail. He played for the cubs, the Indians, Atlanta, Phili, Seatle. He showed me pictures of himself taging Reggie Jackson out. Now he's fat and just had a hip replacement and after 10 years in the majors you know hes not rich if hes a detenton officer. He's pretty famous too. His card goes for 8$. He said it went up to 12$ last year when he fell into a diabetic coma.
He said he started out in the majors in 76 for 25,000$ a year.
But that was in the 70's.
During the 70's my father had a roofing company and one of the pictchers for the Cleveland Indians went to my hall and he asked my father for some work putting on roofs.
I think he was trying out being a JW and a pitcher for the Indians and neither one took.
I go to lifestlye fitness everyday and I see Keith Lyle who was in 3 superbowls there everyday.
He seems pretty content and happy, He lives in a gated community. I used to work there as a guard.
I think maybe I would like to be Tiger woods but Chris Rock said a white man would never want to be a black man.

I would be me.... with a better eye for left-handed pitching.
If we could get "do-overs" I'd take a better game against Ripley... it was scouted and 2 guys got A contracts out of that game... I played the worst game of my life that day.

I would enjoy being really good at golf. Very satisfying to hit a perfect golf shot. That's why guys play all their life just to hit one once in awhile.

Porn stars are considered athletes, right?

I am totally fascinated by a sport that is mostly brand new - parkour or free running.
It's where the athlete runs up walls, does hand stands and back flips off walls and railings, leaps from one building to the next, jumps from balcony to balcony to climb - or descend - a tall building. It combines the agility of a gymnast with the endurance of a runner and the strength of a rock climber, and is absolutely beautiful to watch when done well. The environment becomes your playground. The athletes who do it are lean, ripped and shredded.
If you've seen the last two Bond or Bourne films, you've seen parkour. There are a bunch of free running vids on Youtube.
That's what I would want to be - my body as my instrument, the world as my playground.
