Choked up here too. I never made it past HS varsity baseball, but it was one of the best times of my life. This does bring back memories of my last game as well. No injuries, but still a little sore. I was pulled out out of the last game of my senior year so that a freshman would have the chance to play. Two years earlier, I was pulled out of the last game, so that a senior could "finish" his HS career. I did not hold it against my coach, but I was pissed and it still is with me all these years later.

On the lighter side of things, for tall the negativity that BB gets, it can also be a gentleman's game. True, it can also be a ruthless free for all...

Kudos to the opposite team!
