quote:I sometimes post a few thoughts about the path of the less visible college player, like my son. I love the fact that we have families here of pro players and top DI college players. But I also want to make sure that newcomers and visitors know that this site is for THEIR son, whether he is the player "on the bubble" to make the HS varsity team, or the HS senior wondering if he will find a place to play in college. This site is for MY son 4 or 5 years ago, figuring out which level of college ball might be the best fit for him, which turned out to be DIII. This site is for ME in more recent years, dealing as a mom with watching my son struggle with both the academic demands of college, AND some big bumps in the road of his college baseball experience. I sometimes want to post even more candidly about those struggles to let other parents know they are not alone. But at times I hold back a bit because a lot of people can figure out who my son is, and I don't want to embarrass him!
Julie - that was a mighty fine post
I also enjoyed Fungo and lafmom's thoughts in this thread as well.
