Pay attention!&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;Sorry, Coach!&rdquo;</p> <p>I need you to understand something before we begin. Normally I&rsquo;m laser focused when on the diamond. I was team captain after all. No one wanted us to finally reach Nationals more than I did. The problem was the field we were forced to use. We were a small high school so the board had to make a choice between a baseball or football stadium. Guess which one won. For our practices and home games we rented a field in the local sports park. That&rsquo;s where my troubles lay today.</p>
