A few years ago at the Hall of Fame Baseball field in Cooperstown. Our Goodwill Series American Team is playing the National Team from Japan. On our American team 6 players later played in the ML. One of the parents was behind the home plate screen "yelling" instructions to his son. During the 35 years of the Area Code games and Goodwill Series I have encountered the "over involved" parents. I quietly said to the father "do you want your son "killed"? The Japanese coaches will switch the pitch within seconds and if you son is looking for a slider, it was be a "fastball up and in"!!!

PS: why not enter your son at the JC where your Summer Coach is the Head Coach?
