Well this one time... in a baseball game... he caught a fly ball going back, back, back at a dead sprint and rather than slam into the wall he literally ran up it and back down and back to the dugout.
Then another time he ran down a liner to the fence, fielded the ball on the track and threw a runner out at home and the ball never bounced on it's way there.
Plus he could hit it 500 feet and ran faster than anyone else on the field.
He was pretty good.
