The Cain Effect - Posnanski on Lo' Cain

My favorite little story:

 

Cain caught the first popup ever hit to him. This might not seem like the most fascinating piece of Cain trivia, but there are two odd factors to consider. One, he was 15 years old, a sophomore in high school, which is quite late for a kid to be catching a first popup. Two, he wore a borrowed baseball glove on his right hand. He didn't know it was supposed to be on his left.

I read this in the Chicago Tribune about that base running play Cain orchestrated last night:

 

As Cain was addressing the media, his two young sons were waiting for him in their pajamas. One of the boys asked a Brewers player, “Why do they want to talk to my dad?”

 

“Because your dad is a great baseball player,” the player replied.

 

It was indeed a great play by a great player.

I think that's my favorite thing about that play now. His kids get to see how big a deal their dad is.
