Colorado Cobras Reach Milestone on Father’s Day
Posted on | June 21, 2009 | 1 Comment
As a Father of two, I got asked a couple times what I was doing for Father’s Day and replied ‘Baseball’. But, baseball gave me an unexpected Father’s Day gift today as I was able to witness a very gritty performance by my 10 year old Son and his baseball team.
Just the day before, my Son asked me “What’s a Milestone?” and I explained that a milestone is a significant event in someone’s career, or a defining moment that is a turning point.
He looked at me and repeated, “Dad’s What’s a Milestone?”.
I did my best to explain, but it was much easier today as he experienced several milestones of which I am proud and will remember for some time:
- His baseball team reached its’ first championship game after winning 4 straight baseball games this weekend. While they didn’t win the championship game, they qualified for a spot in the USSA World Series.
- In the semi-finals, he pitched a complete game (6 innings) which I haven’t seen done by a 10 year old. His pitch count for 6 innings was around 75 pitches and he was exhausted when he took the mound in the last inning, but he wanted to secure the win for his team.
Of course the entire team was devasted to lose (rather convincingly) in the championship, and he was upset on the way home. As we started to talk about team and individual milestones that were reached, he started to feel a little bit better. By the time we got home, he was feeling a lot better about the weekend and how much he and his team had accomplished and I feel like I got to experience a life changing event in my Son’s early life…which is a great Father’s Day Gift. Thanks Son!
