What sucks the most is the way I injured it. Last play of a softball double-header I had to make a throw from Left-Center to Home. Just as I released the ball, I felt/heard to crunch/pops and knew my knee was fubar'd. I really didn't want to play because I had just ran 20 miles, but the team was short a player.

That sounds like it hurt like nobody's business. Do you have insurance that will cover it since it wasn't on the job or anything like that? I'm sure you'll have plenty of hospital bills for the surgery and everything else they'll charge you for. GL with the recovery man. It sounds like you were in good shape beforehand, so you won't face as uphill a challenge as others would.
