Re: David Justice on ESPN

[Joe Feeley]

My own personal David Justice memories (he was a 16 year old Senior
when I was an 11 year freshman at Covington Latin):

He played shortstop at a freshman/senior softball game with a
righthander's glove. He threw me out fielding in the hole, taking off
the glove, switching the ball to his left hand and wizzing it to
first. Says more about my speed than his skill, I guess.

In a later game, he almost killed me hitting a ball down the line
when I was coaching first base.

CLS didn't even have a baseball team his senior year (too few
students). He led our basketball team to as many wins as they have
ever had (unfair, since we played varsity teams with kids 2 years
older).

He dumped me in a garbage can one time.
