When my son was playing 14U baseball we had a tournament one weekend and that particular Saturday morning we show up for our scheduled game only to find out the other team didn't show. We had to call the tournament director to find out he had just been informed the coach's brother had just been called up to make his 1st big league start against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Blake paid for his brother and the entire team to fly out to Yankee Stadium to watch his start.
