I think that @Illustrious Potentate went to HS with Chipper Jones. Who, ironically was the class valedictorian

Reminds me of a story back in the day about super-competitive people.
At a company picnic for a place I worked, the CEO/owner of the compny broke his leg sliding into home during a softball game. The catcher became to ex-director of sales,

FTR, I do think I would love jousting
Played Little League against and went to HS with Johnny Damon. Always was a good kid and, obviously a hell of a ball player. Facing him on the mound at 13-14 took some balls.
He actually had a left to right slider at that age…not much fun to hang in the box with that pitch when you batted lefty. Can’t count how many times I chicken stepped back on a called strike.
