South Carolina Pitcher's Father Quits Job To Watch His Son Try and Win the College World Series

“It had to be just a great feeling for both of them,” Tanner said. “Michael enjoys spending a lot of time with his family, and it meant a lot to him to have them in the stands.”

Something seems off about this. How often does a starting pitcher hit the mound in college? Once a week? Excuse me for raining on the parade of this loving father, but I have a feeling that there’s some job waiting for him when he finally decides to come home.

Either that or he’s freelancing at an Omaha car dealership on off-days. I imagine care salesmen can just fill in wherever. All they have to do is read the sticker and offer to take a little money off the top. Besides, anyone can do it.
