Hopefully the weather holds up? There is a chance of rain in So Cal this weekend, but I'm sure they'll get all three of their games in. I haven't been to Pepperdine (drove by a couple times), but I hear it's a beautiful campus and the baseball field has amazing scenery...including PA.
BOF is correct. One thing about kids playing athletics in So Cal, it's really not uncommon to see celebrities and former athletes at the events watching their children compete. They feel the same pressure that we do watching their kids, and they're into the games just as much as you and I.
During my son's frosh year, he came in from the OF to close a tournament game against Palm Desert. The entire game all the parents (including me) continuously stared over at this guy standing directly behind the backstop cheering for his son's team. I wanted to go over and say hello and let the guy know that he was my favorite player growing up, but I didn't want to bother him. Like I said, my son came into the game in the 7th with a runner in scoring position and the son of my Favorite player as a kid was at the plate. My son didn't know who he was, but was pretty pumped up, and drilled the kid in the back (not on purpose). He struckout the next batter to end the game, but by this time I really didn't want to go over and say "hello Mr. Garvey, you were hands down my favorite player as a kid, and this is my son...yes, the one that just pegged your son a few minutes ago!" It turns out, I should have said hello. A year later, our kids played together and hung out for a few summer tournaments, and Garv is still a very nice man.
