Favorite SAI Memory: We were in the playoffs, playing a team that was one of the lesser seeds than us. So my coach decided not to play all of our “A” players in their spots to just have some fun. However the other coach came stomping out to the pitchers mound claiming that we were cheating because our pitcher was “crow-hopping”. She was new and just learning to pitch so this really made my coach angry. He told the other coach that he was trying to give everybody a chance and if he wanted the game to be over with he would change our lineup. Naturally some words were exchanged and right there in the middle of the inning he changed the lineup putting back in our starters and pulling me from centerfield to pitch. We run ruled them by the 4th.
