Coco Takes the Mound

Tonight was Coco's pitching debut. He took the mound for the first time ever. The final line - 2 IP/No Runs/1 BB/5K's. Not too shabby. But like most sports statistics, the numbers don't tell the whole story. He was nervous. Really nervous. But I think excitement finally out weighed his nervousness. Coach Keaton asked him to pitch and Coco responded, "OK." I was relieved that he would give it a try. Was it perfect? No. But is it ever? What mattered was that Coco overcame hesitation and fear to give it a try. And the icing was that he found success. A great night. For Coco. For Me. For baseball.....
