Reply to "His first! (maybe)"

Definitely count it! Definitely enjoy it! You never know when that next one will come.

My son hit three homers in little league before he was 10 years old -- well, in fairness 2 were legitimate homers, the first was really a 4 base error -- it won a championship in walk-off fashion though (and was one of the events in his baseball life that made him want to come back for more.)

Between those little league "glory days" and this summer as a rising college freshman he hadn't hit another one until just a couple of weeks ago -- a grand slam of all things. 8 years is a long time between homers! So you can imagine how pumped he was.

Maybe your kid is bigger and stronger than mine and there are lots more to come for him. But even so, there is nothing like that first one.
