My favorite memory is from a few years ago:
Son is 15 & a soph. He and 2 other sophs are called up to varsity for the 2nd game of the season. One of the sophomores gets the start that night and goes 3 strong innings, but starts to struggle in the 4th. My son is called in to pitch with the bases loaded, 1 out and a 1 run lead. First batter he faces grounds the ball to third, which goes right through the 3rd baseman's legs and scores the tying run. Son strikes out the next batter, and gets the next batter to ground out to second. As he is walking off the field, the CF (a senior) catches up with him and tells him, "you are no longer a sophomore, you are now a varsity pitcher". Our team scores 6 in the bottom of the 4th to retake the lead. Son finishes the game, giving up no hits. After the game, coach tells him to turn in his JV uniform, he's staying on varsity.

Great story gave me chills!
