I started this Thread with my favorite Major League game from when I was a 10 year old kid.

So, here's another 10 year old's story, my Grandson Ron, was at a summer BB camp run by Moe
Vaughan in the Boston area. Ronnie's a Yankee fan, just like his Grandpop, and was among a
lot of Red Sox fans at this camp. He dared to wear his Yankee cap and play with his wooden
bat, which I bought for him at the Cooperstown Bat Co. Most of the kids were on his case for
daring to wear a Yankee cap and play with a wooden bat (since they all had the latest "state-
of-the-art" metal bats.
Well, Ronnie had the last laugh in the final game at this camp....he's a southpaw, and pitched
two flawless innings, striking out 2 kids, and hit a HR to win the game for his team.

And, the best part of his week's experience at this camp was meeting Nomar Garciaparra (it was
his rookie year)....Ron couldn't stop talking about him, he was quite impressed with Nomar.
