15 minutes of fame: I was the MVP of the championship game for my high school state tournament when I was a junior. Throughout the whole season, I had a fracture in the navicular bone in my foot. I would have kept playing baseball in college, however, I waited too long to see a doctor and had to have two surgeries.
