Golf, my second son was a lot bigger than Bum, Jr. (my LHP son). Growing up, he could hit ANYTHING in or out of the strikezone. He was the one I always had to kick in the you-know-what to go to practice, workout, do the extra things. With Bum, Jr., it was a lot easier.
Second son loved baseball but it was not his dream. He is now a commissioned officer with a mathematics degree from West Point.
What I'm saying is not all of these kids are meant to pursue college or the pros. It doesn't mean they don't love the game.
