I loved the way you handled it. I bet you remember it forever.

In 1993, I had a Little League player (11/12 yo) kind of hide behind a shed after a game just so he could tell me I sucked. I asked him to walk with me to the official scorer and informed the scorer that I had ejected the player after that game, assuming he might have to sit out the next game.

It was the last game of a very full Saturday so I went to my parking spot in the trees past centerfield. As I strip off my outer gear, I was down to a t-shirt and two-sizes-too-small compression shorts, both of which I had been wearing for the last four games. Mom and son pull up with head lights shining on us. Mom got out and apologized first, followed by mom making her son apologize. Mom's conversation was a bit long, expressing her appreciation for all we did, but all I was just thinking was I wished she'd leave so I could put on some pants.
