There’s nothing quite like getting that first call to come up to the big leagues. So many stories from the past indicate what a special time it is for both players and their families.
There have been tales of players getting called into the Triple-A manager’s office and being told they re being benched for the game just to find out it’s because they are going to be joining the Major League club.
There are countless other stories that could go on and on but the important thing is that these players get to celebrate and commemorate the moment that they have been working toward for a majority of their lives. The hard work and the persistence, through all of the highs and lows that baseball bring, are realized in that moment.
