So true! Used to umpire a men's FP league. One team was stacked with guys like this...excellent athletes in the outfield, infield and behind the plate. Only spot without a "star" was pitcher and he was pretty good, just about 20 years older than the rest of the team.
Turns out several had been injured in the minor-leagues, one guy was a former quarterback that never moved on, several others just wanted to have fun reliving the "glory days" of high school baseball and chose FP softball.
Only one of them thought he was "the gift." ANd the team kicked him off after a few weeks.
