Peter first posted 5 things about himself. Click here to read why.
Dozens followed suit. Click here if you don't believe me.
Since all the cool people are doing it, below are mine.
After you read this, don't be lame. Add yours too. (Be sure to include tag '5things')

1. For 4 weeks, I was a home-run hitter.

I played little league from about 8 to 14 years old. While I could always put the bat on the ball I never had what one would consider 'pop'. One summer, when 12 or 13, I went to a baseball day camp for 4 weeks. The mornings were instruction. Each afternoon was a game. Chosen to bat lead-off, I hit a home-run, the first of my life, in the first at-bat of the first game. A double in my next at-bat. I was moved to clean-up for the next game...and I hit another home-run. While that torrid pace didn't keep up, I did bang out a few more over the next few weeks to lead the camp/league in home-runs. I never hit another home-run the rest of my life (little league nor softball leagues).

2. I worked in the tallest building in Brooklyn, and the tallest building in Queens.

For a year I worked for Citibank in their Long Island City tower, and for a few years I worked for Republic National Bank in the historic Williamsburg Savings Bank building in downtown Brooklyn. For those not familiar with the boroughs, unlike Manhattan and the Bronx, Brooklyn nor Queens have any sort of skyline. Both these buildings are extremely conspicuous (see images at bottom of this post).

3. I fractured my skull.

In the summer of 2001 I was working for SportsLine in their NY sales office and was invited to play on their softball team in a Central Park League. In my first (and last) at-bat of my first (and last) game I roped a single. Trying to get to third on the next batter's single, while sliding my face met with the jumping third-baseman's knee. Concussion and a fracture in my skull beneath my eye socket.

4. I am (or at least used to be) very good at foosball.

I have something like a 5000 and 2 record playing singles since I was 16 or so with many those victories being of the 10 to 0, 10-1, 10-2 variety. Since many people know this already, in the spirit of these being 5 things people don't know I will publicly expose an old secret practice technique. Rather than positioning the defenders and goalie in a formation and trying to hit shots around/through them, I'd move those guys out of the way, and wedge a tennis ball in the goal. Aiming for the small remaining opening helped hone my shooting accuracy and the rapid and unpredictable ricochet off a tennis ball, as opposed to the dead-ball effect of hitting into a defender or goalie, contributed to my ability to prevent opponents from clearing my front-line or middies.

5. My top, front, right tooth is fake.

It's a cap and if you already knew that, maybe you didn't know that my dad made it. If you knew that my dad made it, maybe you didn't know that I needed a cap because my real tooth got cracked in half when hit with a bat. If you knew that, maybe you don't know who hit me with a bat.
