I am so mad at myself. My son had a scrimmage game yesterday and I decided at the last minute to go to my daughter's away game because he had to scrimmage with the varsity - I was sure he wouldn't see the field. What happens, of course? He was put in to pinch run, stole second and scored from second on a bloop hit to left center. His first HS and varsity appearance - and I missed it. Oh well, it was the first game of my daughters senior season - I would have felt better if she had won, but they lost 8-6.

did anyone tape the scrimmage...maybe it's on a tape somewhere...if the other team won...maybe theres a proud daddy with a tape...

yeh for your son...sorry you missed it...

His team won the scrimmage BIG (11-2). Haven't had the chance to ask about a tape yet, but doubt anyone did.

You made the right decision going to your daughter's opener instead of a scrimmage. You'll be able to see them both play.

I remember two years ago missing my son's varsity debut because I was coaching. He had a no-hitter going into the 7th and finished with a 1-hit shutout against the team that won the state championship that year and again in 2003.

I also have a daughter that plays, so picking and choosing which one to see will always be a dilemma for you and me. the each can give us thrills!!

Enjoy every minute of the season!!

Well, it was hard. But she is a senior that is going off to play college next year and he is an eighth-grader that has five years more to see. All the same, I wish I could be in two places at one time (like Michael Keaton in "Multiplicity").
