Reply to "When did you know you had a "Player""

As a young 11 year old, my son made the local all star travel team. As he was young he was a bit of a bench player and got in a few innings in most games but not all. His team made it to the final game of the district tournament and he entered the game at 2nd base in the 5th inning. They were up by 1 in the bottom of the seventh with runners on first and second and two outs. There was a full count and the batter hits a high pop up to his position which he had to backpedal to reach. Never taking his eyes off the ball, he fell flat on his back and started pushing with his feet on his back to scoot under the ball for the catch!

Needless to say, he was the star of the game, received the game ball and hasn't looked back since.
