'Coolest thing I've ever seen on a baseball field': Van Horn praised for reaction to child

FAYETTEVILLE — Before Texas A&M's home baseball games, young children are allowed to go on the field and stand next to their favorite Aggies player while the national anthem is played.

For one young boy on Saturday at Blue Bell Park in College Station, Texas, his favorite Aggie turned out to be University of Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn.

How's that?

This particular youngster became confused and began crying after he got onto the field. Rather than go stand by a Texas A&M player, he was by himself.

"I see this little boy, and he's looking around and he's crying," Van Horn said.
