That previous Saturday night, well into the wee hours, Andrew had hit a dramatic 14th-inning walk-off home run against his team\u2019s archrivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. Fans went crazy.<\/p>\n<p>There was an early game the next day, the last game before the break. The announcer wanted to know how Andrew calmed down and got some rest before coming right back to the park. \u201cMan,\u201d Andrew replied, \u201cI was just lying there in bed thinking, I have to be in church in a couple of hours!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sounded genuine to me. Andrew has a great story, especially about the role his father played as both <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/coachs-biggest-lesson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pastor and coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/sports\/adam-greenbergs-inspiring-comeback\/\"><em><strong>Read More Inspiring Baseball Stories<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like Andrew, I learned to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/sports\/a-sons-letter-to-his-baseball-hall-of-famer-father\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">play ball from my dad<\/a>, an old catcher. On chilly spring Michigan evenings with Little League right around the corner, we\u2019d\u2028 go out in the backyard with our gloves, his an ancient mitt that looked more like a pillow. He\u2019d wince a little getting down in a crouch, his creaky knees\u2028 and stiff back making a fuss. I\u2019d try to burn them in, and he\u2019d call the pitches. He was a man of few words and strike wasn\u2019t generally one of them. But when he said it, low and soft, it made me happy.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Dad.
