You put the feelings of a little league Mom into words beautifully. Every time my son takes the mound, my heart stops for a moment. Not because he can't do it or doesn't love it more than anything in the world, but because it's my baby up there. Congratulations to your son (and to you for surviving the stress!). You put the feelings of a little league Mom into words beautifully. Every time my son takes the mound, my heart stops for a moment. Not because he can’t do it or doesn’t love it more than anything in the world, but because it’s my baby up there.

But I bet it would become more amazing to him the older he gets (and the more he realizes how rare it is). Nice piece — love how it was a bigger deal for you, the Mom, than for the boy.
