“Go Eight” - we would scream at the top of our lungs when Jon took the base as number 8 on the Gamers Blue youth baseball team. This USSSA Major 10U (10-year-old and under) team played 60-plus games this season, not losing a single one in the league and won seven championships out of ten tournaments.

But mostly we’d yell and scream to cheer up Jon and his teammates, no matter the situation.
When batting:
In a July evening, Gamers 10U had its last league game in Kirkwood Athletic Association park. The night was long as there were two games to play, the weather was steamy and the mosquito was brutal. However, all the parents were cheering excitedly, wholeheartedly, and faithfully.
And we were having great fun!
When batting:
- “Nice cut (or swing)!” - on a swing that missed or fouled off the ball
- “Fight!” - when batter falling behind on pitch count like 0:2
- “Good try!” - when batter got struck out
- “It’s not on you!” - when umpire called a strike to the batter
- “Have Fun!” - when facing a tough pitcher
- “Beautiful pitch!” - cheering a pitcher who just threw a ball
- “Nobody’s hurt!” - calming a pitcher who faces a dire situation (base loaded nobody out)
