Went down to watch my son's team scrimmage this afternoon. It was 36 degrees at game time. I had so many layers on that I was literally bullet proof. Man, I am ready for winter to hit the road.
This is a team with a number of senior position players. These are grown men in the 220-240 lb. range. What caught my attention today, though, was that the freshmen I saw five months ago who looked miniscule standing next to the older guys suddenly don't look so puny. Five months of weight training has changed some bodies. I hardly even recognize my own kid when I see him from behind.
The only thing less impressive than the pop in BBCOR bats is the pop in cold BBCOR bats. My son had a couple of knocks today, so he was happy about that, but he is still grieving the loss of the rocket launchers in college baseball just as his career begins.
