This made me tear up (Michael Lorenzen)

Me, my brother and my cousins all grew up playing little league in Anaheim with the Lorenzen brothers, Michael being the youngest. Both their parents coached me and I believe most my family at least one point throughout little league. My family heard from their oldest brother a couple days ago that their father past away. It's awesome to see this moment upon Michael Lorenzen's return from the bereavement list, getting a rare at bat as a reliever. Cool moment and not bad that it happened against the Dodgers.

Here's the full video of the HR with curtain call and all that I thought was in the link above.

Pretty damn awesome. Thanks for sharing by posting this, otherwise I wouldn't even have noticed.

Cool story. And agreed, glad it happened against the dodgers

Yeah, just thought this was a great baseball moment. Slight personal connection I guess, but awesome to see in general. Nice to see the joy the moment brought his family too based on Twitter reactions.

I thought the name was familiar.
