Kathy took Danny up for his first game last night. I carpooled the girls to Sunday school (on Wednesday night) and watched the war. None of us knew he was going to play, but after a terrible third and fourth inning of walks and mistakes by three of the pitchers, the coach called in “Cash.”
He inherited one man out, two strikes, and one man on base. Over the next two innings, he quickly delivered two strike outs, two pick offs, and one fantastic relay at first, and the game was over! Danny says it was the most fun he had in two innings in all of high school. Good thing, because all of the varsity coaches were in attendance.
Zero earned run average!
Mary Claire took a look at this picture and said, “Clyde looks like that cartoon dog with the big nose.” “Do you mean, Snoopy?” I asked. “Yes!” she laughed repeating how he looked just like Snoopy.
