Jarius was a player on the Kekambas
baseball team that I coach.

1:27:14
Honestly, he--
1:27:17
he was too young to play.
1:27:19
But he wanted to be a part
of the team so badly that...

1:27:23
I couldn't say no.
1:27:24
G- Baby. You're up.
1:27:27
He had a great smile too.
1:27:30
I know I'm not telling you
anything you don't know.

1:27:34
I've got Jarius Evans
batting for Jefferson Tibbs.

1:27:37
He was a really tough guy.
1:27:39
Just a boy, really,
who...

1:27:44
wanted to be
around his older brother.

1:27:46
Hang on, Coach. I don't have Jarius
Evans on this roster anywhere.

1:27:53
Oh, you know what?
There he is. He's okay.

1:27:57
The other day...
1:27:59
we played a really important game
against a good team.

1:28:05
And, two outs
in the last inning...

1:28:10
I had no choice
but to let Jarius bat.

1:28:12
You can swing if you want,
but you don't have to.

1:28:15
Okay? If you go down looking,
none of us care.

1:28:18
But if you want to swing,
swing.

1:28:21
Get back in there.
Do what you feel.

1:28:26
He was fearless
as he stepped to the plate.

1:28:30
I was terrified for him.
