Dan Schaefer had seen the new kid in town a few times before. He remembered specifically seeing him play in the same basketball league the previous winter against his son, Max.
But this time, as Schaefer watched the new kid take part in the first Little League practice of the season on the same team as Max, something caught his eye that seemed a little peculiar given how good of an athlete the kid seemed to be.
"He didn't know how to hold a baseball bat," Schaefer said. "He was kind of holding it like a cricket bat or something."
Schaefer, who was officially the team dad but not the head coach, asked if he could work with him and quickly learned why Amara Darboh _ who on Friday makes his official debut with the Seahawks when the team holds its rookie minicamp _ was so unfamiliar with something so American.
