Former High School Coach
We were down in Florida for spring games my daughter's freshman year. The day that we long awaited was at hand. She was going to get her first start. We took the field first and I nervously started recording as she prepared to throw her first pitch. Well, her first college pitch bounced up the middle for a single. The next batter dropped a perfect bunt and suddenly there were two on and no outs. Being the superstitious pitcher's dad that I am, I shut off the camera assuming that it would make a difference. The next batter up squared again to move the runners to second and third. She popped up to the catcher who promptly fired to the SS who ran back to second and delivered a strike to the second baseman covering first for a triple play. It was the only triple play that I have ever seen in all the games that I have watched and it remains only in my mind. Suffice to say I was really ticked off for not having the confidence to keep the tape rolling. Live and learn. I am sure others of you out there have had similar experiences.
