HS baseball ended recently for my 2017 catcher. He was the starter since mid-way through his Sophomore year and had an excellent time with friends, many of whom he had played with in LL since 2nd grade. I spent a LOT of time over the years cheering for the boys with parents who all look older (go figure).
Travel baseball was also a hoot and some teams have been better, some worse. But HS baseball was always entirely about the TEAM. Just not as much for travel.
I live across the street from the high school and drive by the baseball field everyday. It will take a long time for me to not look at home plate and think about my son setting up to receive a pitch or trying to lace a double,
