If you could play one sport professionally at any position, what would it be?
 

Let's have a scenario...

You are allowed to play one sport professionally at whichever position you choose.

What sport would you play, and at what position?

Myself, I think I would opt to play shortstop on a professional baseball team.

What would you choose?

the final pairings at Augusta National

Hmmm....interesting question....I think I would have to go with third base on a professional baseball team, always loved that position when I was younger.

Formula 1 racing. preferably NOT for Minardi...hah.

Ladies tennis. Position - sportsbra.

I'd love to drive for a Winston Cup team. Preferably one with the top bucks, so I wouldn't be bringing up the rear. I guess come to think of it, if it was me i'd be in the back anyways.

Basketball. Forward for the Lakers! I'd love to be on that team when the Lakers beat the Kings, again.

Driver - Ferrari F1 team.
that would be rock and roll!

i could be as fast and loose as i wanted and have an excuse!

Driver - Williams BMW, Formula One.

Second baseman for the Cleveland Indians would be nice, too.

Interesting question, some good responses.

striker for FC Barcelona (or Liverpool)

Baseball pitcher... you make a ton of money and only work every five games... if you are a middle reliever you get it even better because you might not have to work at all if your other pitchers do there job

i wish i could be a basketball player. preferably a power forward. but, being as i am only six feet tall and 170 pounds, i don't think that is going to happen.

Right Wing for the Colorado Avalanche.

Either a Right Wing, or a Defence in any Canadian NHL Hockey team, preferably with the Montreal Canadians, or the Ottawa Senators.

I'd have a mighty slap shot that could send the puck flying at 300 km/h (180 mph), and burn holes through solid rock. My body check would bring forth the fury and anger of the heavens, and even the toughest of opponents would shatter on contact. The Stanley Cup would be my birthright!

...okay, now I'm just daydreaming...

Winston cup stock car Crew Chief.
I'm getting too old to drive.

Golfer.
Position? 1st place, of course.

i'd want to be the best damn goalie the toronto maple leafs ever had, just so they'd finally win a stanley cup already.

i would be an nfl running back

Id like to go back to 1989 for my senior year and get a second shot that i took from the point only to have it go high on the glove side. We lost the finals that year:(

Ohh...I was a defensmen

Bullpen Catcher. No pressure, best seats in the stadium, and all you gotta do play catch once in a while. Perfect for lazy people like me.

I would play 3rd in baseball and outside linebacker in football.

I can't decide.

Either a free safety for the Oakland Raiders or a left winger for the Edmonton Oilers. God, the Oilers need some talent. Losing to Dallas in the playoffs is getting old.

I'd say point guard in the NBA, because that's the only thing i could imagine being decent at.

the guy at the end of the tampa bay devil rays' bench making league minimum.

dude, it would suck making it to the final pairing just to lose to me ;)

I would be a bench warmer i mean 400k to sit on ur ass and eat sunflower seeds SWEET deal

Darn Jonesey u beat me to the punch lol

I'd like to be a catcher for the St Louis Cardinals.

My second choice would be they're Closer. I'd love to walk out of the Bullpen with the game on the line with the Intro to Walk from Pantera playing over the PA System.

I would just kill to be 6´10" and about 270. I would be the dominant power forward in the NBA. I'd have it all, power, touch, passing, handle, could play with my back to the basket or facing it. Wow, that would be great. I have often wished this very thing. Too bad that I am no longer likely to grow beyond my 5´9" 150.

Baseball, Rockies, 3rd base, scoopin every hot grounder that comes my way. ;)

Whoa!!

Quarterback,NFL, on any team with a decent O-line.

Seriously, just to play golf professionally would be the best. If you did that, and did not have to worry about winning, it would be the highest point of my life.

That would be great, because it would be an all Canadian final with me between the pipes in Edmonton. It would go to major overtime in game seven, and they'd have to pull one of us to score a goal :-)

Either that or the Leafs and Oilers could take turns winning the cup every other year.

NHL GOALIE, PERFERABLY FOR THE LIGHTNING BUT JUST TO PLAY WOULD BE GREAT!

Left-handed sidearm/submarine relief pitcher.
I go in and face 1 lefty batter every once in a while.
The rest of the time I'm spitting sunflower seeds in the bullpen.
Too bad I'm not even left-handed.
-GH

Pro Snowboarder

The lakers got to beat SA first

Wow, this is so tough. I'd probably want to be a Center Fielder in the majors, for any team.

I'd also like to be a left winger for the Penguins and play alongside Mario...

Although, I would love to be a Formula 1 driver...if you consider that a sport.

The only thing I wouldn't want to do is be a basketball player...

With Tirian's response, I've decided that left-wing for the Oilers would be my choice...then I'd make sure the damned Leafs lost in the finals, over and over and over again.:D

Closing pitcher for any team. The cash is great, you "work" 15 minutes a day tops, and you make a huge impact on the outcome.
