Reply to "Parents of Pitchers, Redux"

My son hated it when myself or his mom would sit in the bleachers behind home plate when he was pitching.   I was one of those guys who had to stand....so I was always halfway down one of the lines standing along the fence.  Son's summer after his senior year he was pitching in an 18U summer game.  I was there from the start....his mom was running late.  She shows up in the 5th.  He has a perfect game going.  I stop her as she's walking from the parking lot to tell her and "suggest" that she not sit behind home plate.  Well....you know what is next lol.  She did.  He promptly hits the first kid in the helmet....then walks the next kid on 4 pitches.   He gets out of it with no damage....but as he is walking off the field he looks at her and says with a laugh (sort of) "mom, you can leave now"!   One of the funniest memories of his 20-ish years of baseball
