| Executive Producer Paul Pabst College: Southern Illinois Professional Experience: Pro Football Weekly, CBS Sports, ESPN Odd Jobs: Paper boy, DJ at country/western bar Favorite Teams: Chicago Cubs, Liverpool FC, Yale football Greatest Athletic Achievement: The first year of grade-school football, I was riding the pine. We were on defense and we had only 10 men on the field, some kid forgot to go out on D. I ran on the field right before the play started and made the tackle. The coach told me to stay in the game because he was mad at the kid who forgot to go in. I started from then on. I still stunk, but I was like Clint Longley when the Cowboys' Roger Staubach went down ... but I didn't punch out Roger the Dodger to end my career. Sports Heroes: Walter Payton (He didn't showboat and played hard every week). Also Tony Hawk for making a street sport mainstream -- he gets ripped by skateboarders but he revolutionized sports. Favorite TV shows: The Shield, Deadliest Catch, Friday Night Lights. |

Bottom of the seventh, which is the last inning in LL, one out, bases loaded, we were up by one. I was playing left field and caught a towering fly ball (it seemed to hang in the air for hours) hit by Kirk Asterita and threw it in to second to turn two. Game over. When seeing the ball hit in my direction, my father was quoted as saying "Oh Sh**." The city newspaper recapped the game the next day, saying "O'Connor, who hadn't caught a ball all season ... " My big defense over the years has been that I didn't have any balls hit to me.
