wow, what a nice surprise. I think I know who posted this so Mr. R, thank you for your kind words. If I can add anything it's to certainly not give up and to have your kids stick w/ it as long as they can.
Funny you should mention playing a baseball player rz1. I was very fortunate back in 1998 to have spent 3 months at Yankee Stadium on a Universal Film called For Love Of The Game starring Kevin Costner. I had only one line in the film but I was one of his team mates. Got to throw the ball on the field every day, pitch in the bull pen, batting practice etc. I always felt it was God's way of saying 'hey, you never made it to the bigs, but here's the next best thing.' All my support to your young boys. My first child, Dante, turns 1 next week and I can't wait to get him on that field. There are some great programs out here in LA and I think he'll certainly have an advantage over me being that he gets to play all year round versus growing up in NY, where have the year I used to dream about being on the field. Take care. Dominic Pace
