It's so easy, this dad can do it with one kid in his other arm.

"I thought this was America"

A high school baseball coach promised his team that if they won 14 games in a row, they could name his baby. They were not doing well this season so he must have thought it was a long shot. Well, they did it and they want to name him Benjamin Smalls, after two characters from The Sandlot.  

This video was made just before they won that 14th game: 



It seems like mom still has some veto power but they'll be pretty disappointed if she chooses something else now. In fact, apparently David Evans, the writer of The Sandlot dropped by to wish them well. 

Hey Internet kids, if you're at a sports thing IRL look up from your phones when you hear a loud crack of the bat.

At least the parents of the batter can be proud, sliding technique WIN!

And all of that on Mother's Day, too. There's gotta be extra brownie points for taking care of the baby that day while being a total mensch.

There's one on every team.
