Great story about a 31 year old rookie

He is the assistant coach to a co-worker's son's baseball team here in Gwinnett County (home of the G-Braves).

Glad to see he finally made it, if only for a day.

In his first game in “The Show” Scales recorded his first big league hit off of Giants ace Tim Lincecum who is 10 years younger than him.

Thanks for sharing....great story. Not quite the same as "The Rookie" (Jim Morris story) but still pretty cool.
