On a light note it almost happened many years ago! We had a buddy in college who claimed he was a great HS baseball player and in fact was being considered for induction into his HS Hall of Fame only 2 years after graduation. One night while at the local watering hole he is boasting and we then dare him to try out for this SEC team and a bet was on the line if he makes it. We attended the tryouts to verify his claim and some of us in stereo say "holy #@$@ he may make the team" After he hit 3 hr in 2 days from the left side, lefty 1B with a cannon for an arm.....we thought for sure we lost . Luckily for us he was a Junior! HC lets him go on last day of tryouts only to tell him "if you were a freshman you would of made team".
Surely not these day would this ever happen!
