That coach is awesome. When my son was playing Little league, I always dreaded that he'd be put on a Yankees team. As luck would have it, his first grade team was the Mets, and he was ecstatic (as was i). The coach was a friend and a big Yankee fan, and I could see the pain it caused him every time he had to put on that royal blue hat with the orange NY. He navigated through his Little League career as a member of the Braves, Cardinals, Mets again, Royals, Athletics and Cubs. But never the Yankees.
