Reply to "Did you ever have to miss a key game?"

This one comes to mind with my oldest, but having 3 sons there has been more:

A few years back, oldest son was playing LL All-Stars against neighboring town (local rival). He was the youngest on pretty loaded team. Ended up having to pitch that game as the older pitchers had been used over the last couple games. Pitched a gem all 6 innings and getting the win (the coach later told me he had everyone off balance with fastball/change combo).

The funny part was I ended up taking care of the kid of the rival coach in the ER. Kid swung a bat against a tree and ended up getting stitches to his forehead (tree won the fight glare ). Asked dad how the game went. Spoken in an arrogant tone, "We should have one that game, just couldn't hit that slow s!%#". It was all I could do to keep a straight face and wish him better luck next time. Needless to say, he had no idea he was speaking to the father of the kid with "slow s!$%".
