My third kid is trying out for his intermediate team for the first time. Even with two sons having successfully gone before and even though I'm confident in his abilities, I'll be stressed out more than usual: he's a pitcher as well as a field player. Every pitch he throws is a nail biter.
I hope there's a special place in heaven for the parents of pitchers.
Appreciate the kind words, Smoke!
I will say that when my son occasionally pitches, it's definitely more stressful.
Amen to that fellas. I pace and go far away when he pitches. Funny thing is he had such a great year last year I started to relax and stay with everybody else by the end of the season! With the nee season I am sure I will be back to pacing - at least in the beginning!
