Last Thursday we found ourselves yet again at the baseball fields. We thought this was to be Troy's last game with the Yankees. They were playing their second playoff game against the first place Padres. The Yankees have been a good little team this year, but don't usually have the strength to finish well. This game was to be different. They hit well and played strong defense. They silenced the usually raucous Padres parents. It came down to the last inning. The score was 10-9, with the Yankees ahead. There was one out with a runner on third. The Yankees were in the field. Troy was at the pitcher position. The coach told him if he caught it to run home with it. That, in fact, is what happened. Troy got the out at home. The next batter hit it again to Troy and he ran the ball over to first for the last out! A team dog-pile on Troy ensued. Yankees parents and fans were going wild. Parents were "high-fiving" me for Troy's great plays. It was just a ton of fun. Troy was given the game ball and had all the players sign it. They face the Rays tomorrow for the championship. Go Yankees!
