Grandma just had a new bikini she wanted to show off and was looking for an excuse…So, we are picking up at a B-level Nationals this week. DD is a C/1B. This team has several 2021's and this is their last tournament. Yesterday, HC put DD in at 1B instead of at C. She was thrilled to play her secondary position. DH and I were actually watching from the car because it's hot as Hades in South Alabama right now.
The 2021 1st baseman's grandmother apparently did a version of hissy quit when she saw that my DD was on first. She told the girl to get her things and "we're going to the beach!" The girl was mature enough to say no and just sat the bench during the game, but Grandma stormed off in a snit. DD felt bad. As a pickup player, she felt bad that she was playing in the rostered girl's place and it's the rostered girl's last tournament ever. But then again, the girl that was catching is also a 2021 and it's her last tournament too. I think HC is just trying to be equitable, recognizing that a 5 day tournament six hours from home is expensive and wanting the pickup he invited to get playing time too. Should be interesting to see if Grandma is back this afternoon or not.
