"Sure plenty of times. I had three kids playing college and high school baseball at the same time. You've got to have a lot of friends to stay connected...it is part of the badge of being a baseball parent. There is a protocol that has to be followed....big moments must be communicated immediately. "
Fortunately I was able to attend the majority of son's games. One of my best memories from his college years was his roommate , seldom used back up catcher. We became great friends with his parents and are still to this day. Anyway kid gets a chance to pinch hit , two men on, two outs. his parents aren't at the game, I pull out my phone and get the video turned on just in time, he jumps on the first pitch and crushes it over CF wall for his first homerun. Kid is mauled at home plate and dugout by teammates. Being able to capture that moment and forward it to his parents was awesome.
