In 1968 Claude coached little league in New Jersey. Steve and Scott played on the team. Claude maintained a statistics book. We lost in the championship game. We had the lead but the umpire drew a line in the dirt and said we had to stand behind it to hit. Claude took it well. In a classy gesture, he got each boy a miniature wood bat. He took a wood burner and engraved the name and batting average on each one and handed them out.
