"On his birthday, his team’s final game was played in brutal 39° rain and wind along the Mississippi. Frozen and in tears, he wanted quit, but knowing his team had only 9 players (many avoided the cold/rainy situation), he stayed. In the final inning, he volunteered to pitch 👀, 1st walked two batters, then locked in—striking out one, forcing a groundout, and catching a line drive to end the game. What I feared would be a nightmare became one of his greatest, toughest moments." - DAD
