This thread may win the cake for the some of the funniest and most sentimental posts I've read on here. @smokeminside I'm a little disappointed that there are no Hawaiian coots in your story but I suppose they don't swoop in a manner befitting the circumstances. And @adbono, I agree that what we sometimes lose in our discussions of signing and recruiting and launch angle...etc...is the preciousness of time spent with our players and the plethora of lessons learned not just on the field but in the in between times. Not to mention the incredible lifelong relationships between father/son, mother/son, coach/player and teammate/teammate that are generated and enhanced because of baseball. IMHO, if you've had a chance to be on a baseball journey with your son, it's already a win.
