Andrew Briedis hated playing baseball as a kid, but his mom loved it. She coached his little league team for years, and week after week, the team won. Andrew readily admits he wasn\u2019t the best player on the team, and was likely the worst, but he stuck it out for one final season in 1993. That year, his mom recruited one heck of a team, and they won the league championship. Andrew\u2019s mom presented her son with the game ball following the final pitch. It\u2019s what she wrote that changed his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe wrote on it, \u2018June 26, 1993. Game ball for our championship season. First Place presented to Andrew. For without him, I wouldn\u2019t be coach. Congratulations, Mommy,\u2019\u201d Andrew read. \u201cThis is the favorite thing that I have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The story touched so many.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe only loved being a coach because of how much she loved spending time with you. You\u2019re so loved,\u201d a comment reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so lucky to have had a strong and beautiful mother who cared so deeply for you. It sounds like you were everything to her. I\u2019m sorry your time together was cut short. Thank you for sharing, I wish you joy until you see her again,\u201d another person added.<\/p>\n
Andrew Briedis adored his mother because she poured herself into making him happy. When baseball didn\u2019t pan out, she helped him get involved in theatre, where he shone. But in Andrew\u2019s heart, his mother will always be the biggest star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
