Favorite MCWS Moment/Memory: While not my favorite memory at the time, I look back and laugh now. It was narrowly escaping an angry Chicago Cubs and Bartman type scene during 2021 Finals Game 1 Vanderbilt vs Mississippi State. My son Cole (9 at the time) had been thoroughly disappointed at a prior game in our “bad” seats behind home plate because of the net so we had tickets near first base. He was desperate to get a ball. I watched in horror as a foul was hit, the Vandy right fielder sprinted all the way in… straight toward where Cole was extended as far as his little arm could reach over the railing while all I could think of was how did not explain he couldn’t reach over and how was I going to sneak out with him in his florescent green shirt after this. Thankfully the Vandy player made a phenomenal catch, and my point of view made it look much worse than it was on all the replays. I can still spot that shirt to this day!
