I caught a ball with my eyes closed and my glove held high up in the air -- praying to God I'd make my first catch. I was playing pitcher for the 1996 Linda Little League Solongs Tee-Ball team. I even remember running half way to first-base and under handing the ball to a teammate standing on first, knowing he'd drop it other wise, thus confirming the runner was out.
It was the proudest day of my short lived life. Although, I watched a lot of Sandlot as a kid. It was my favorite movie after all. It may be possible that I'm confusing parts of my greatest little league accomplishments with the movie - The Sandlot, and the scene where "Smalls" makes his first catch.
