I moved into my town 19 years ago. Before then, I lived nowhere near where I am now.
Around 4 years after I moved here, my son was born. He’s now a HS freshmen.
I want to say it was around 5 years ago, give or take, that I became aware of our HS baseball program – meaning who were the coaches, the players, their families, etc.
There are MANY kids who are playing for our HS now, or who played for them very recently, where they are the sons of men who played for our HS team (when they were younger).
Right now, there’s at least a half-dozen kids on the HS team whose fathers played on the same HS team in the mid-to-late 1980’s.
Is that the norm for a small town? (And, I never would have considered my town to be small.) Or, is that something that’s rare to find these days?
