In our last tournament of the season my DD's 14U team played another team that was more of a rec team than a travel team, going by the discussion of their coach to ours. Their coach told our's that they traveled 4 hours to get there and some of their parents didn't want to travel that far and only had 8 players would have shown up. One of the girls on that team had their 9 year old sister play as a guest. Very cute small girl who's uniform was clearly way too big for her. Our girls just adored her.
Our team at this point is beating them 11-1 when my daughter is at the plate and the 9 year old comes up to bat. The AC is trying to get the HC's attention to see if he just wants to walk her. Before he can make a call the catcher gives the AC the sign for a changeup down the middle! The girl eventually hits the ball but got thrown out at first. I asked the catcher why she called that and she said she wanted to give the girl a chance to get the ball in play. Class act from a 13 year old kid. I was proud of her and she isn't even my kid!
What are some class act things you've seen on the field?
