The Slice

Born too soon for wall-to-wall coverage

If you are of a certain age and played organized sports as a kid, you might have had this thought.

"Too bad phone cameras were not around back when I was in Little League and in high school sports. I wouldn't mind if some of my playing-career highlights were findable on the Internet."

Yes, that would be pretty sweet. In fact, it's almost possible to imagine a surprised and impressed audience.

"Wow. So I guess you weren't always a feeble old man."

Of course, there might be a downside. Maybe those big plays look better in your memory than they really were. Maybe that sensational catch you made against Bob's Big Boy in 1965 would actually look pretty routine now? And what if that mind-blowing goal you scored against Montpelier was not really all that remarkable?

I guess there would be that risk. Still, some of us might like to see for ourselves.
