Don't remember offering him much as far as LL incentives go, maybe a few bucks for knocking one out. Never made a bid deal of it because didn't want to add any unneeded pressure on a young kid. But when he got into high school, I offered to help buy my son a car for college if he got an academic and or athletic scholarship. It was a win-win incentive for everybody. The money he would've saved in tuition could have gone towards a decent car and I wouldn't have to let him borrow one of my cars when he comes home from school.
