Sue,

While what your son did by staying is admirable, you should not of felt guilty for leaving early. That is if this was a showcase for individuals rather than an actual team he is on.

We often have pitchers come in for one of three days, pitch and then leave. After all, that is what a showcase is all about for the most part. This happens a lot and it does not reflect negatively on the pitcher. We’ve even had position players who have missed a game or even a day due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons.

However, I agree with others here who claim your son did a good thing. Even without any real allegiance to any team. It shows his love and respect for the game and those are very good things.

So, while it is not a negative for a player to leave a showcase early, it sure shows a big positive for those sticking around. I hope somebody who counts noticed and he is rewarded somehow.

Best of luck
