--He tackled players by wrapping his arms around their neck and taking them to the ground, --

my brother used to do that in sandlot games... that and the 'hammer' - a rugby move where you use centrifugal force and the ground to create quite an impact.

i'd seen him do the hammer to a couple of the other kids and he tried it on me once and i about ripped my knees off in stopping him from getting the 'spin' going.

yeah he and i used to knock the crap out of the other kids in the sandlot games... where did all the anger come from?

of course, sometimes the kids were bigger than us and we got knocked around...

my brother was the only person ever to tackle davy knight.

i was knocked unconscious in a couple of those sandlot games... one time nearly broke my neck.

we didn't fight much but we sure went at it on those fields...

we were miniature 'night train lanes'
