Stuff like this still opens doors. I can think of one tough-to-break-into firm where one's softball playing ability makes the difference for summer associate positions.
There's one entry on my resume that is a little oddball. People who've known me for casually years are generally surprised to hear it. I put it in my resume because it rarely fails to provoke a question in which I can eloquently (I must say) show off the depth of my interest in a matter over which there's a bit of curiosity, but little actual knowledge, nowadays. More than once, these conversations end with "I'd really like to talk with you further about that sometime." I don't know whether it's ever actually gotten me a paying job, but from a networking standpoint, it's golden.
