I had a childhood friend who pitched in the Major Leagues. He regaled me with stories of facing Don Mattingly, Wade Boggs, Mark McGwire and other superstars when we were in our early 20s.

One day he called me from the road to tell me the story of his first Major League save opportunity.

This is that story.
