I'm still shaking. Watched my 8yo step up to the plate and crack one over the left fielder's head. Whole dugout went crazy and he was grinning so big his ears were flopping. That's the first time I've seen him actually believe in himself like that. We're stopping for ice cream after the game obviously. Best Saturday ever.
That's awesome! Those moments stick with you forever. My oldest just started Little League and I'm already getting emotional at games, can't imagine when she hits her first one.
Dude, nothing beats that feeling. Still remember my son's first home run like it was yesterday. Frame that memory because he's gonna remember you being there cheering him on.
That's amazing! First home run is a memory you both carry forever. My oldest just turned 7 and I cannot wait for that moment. You gotta get a photo of that ball if you still have it.
Congrats man! That's huge. Eight years old and already crushing it. Nothing beats that feeling of watching your kid accomplish something they've been working toward.
Dude yes! I still remember my son's first one. The shaking hands thing is real. Make sure you tell him you're proud of him not just for the hit but for the hard work he put in.
One of the best parts of coaching is getting to witness these milestones with your kids. That's the stuff that stays with them forever, not just the home run but knowing you were there.

Man, that's the stuff that makes all the crazy schedules worth it. Eight years old and already crushing it, you must be so proud.
