ANDY: Well, I get a little bit of that with Davis Cup. But if I didn't play tennis, it would be baseball or basketball. I was better at baseball than I was at tennis growing up. But then we moved and I didn't want to start on a new team, so I just played tennis.

that doesnt tell me anything about him being a top ranked baseball player. I dont even think they ranked 14yr year olds in 1996.

Nadal was the top prospect for his age in soccer at striker. This was in Spain, which means he would have been a pro, almost certainly. I don't know about Federer.

I was liberal with the word ranked But from all accounts his was more highly regarded as a baseball player when he quit. Which is saying something because he was a top ranked tennis player. That is why I used the word ranked. In honesty he was built more for baseball. Raw power and speed compared to fluidity

You're not very bright are you?

Do you know how good he was at tennis?

You're just mad because not one tennis player could do any of what I said. You can't offer a counterargument.

Not one tangible argument.

Fact is Bo knows tennis too. That track & field background for the win!

he said he was better at baseball growing up. when? when he was 5? when he was 10? 14? when exactly was he better?


I read at one point he considered quitting tennis at age 17 because he was losing so much. so i dont really know if the context is what you think it is.

a lot of 14 year olds are good at baseball and never amount to shite.

Are you saying that this means he wasn't good as a junior?
