bobble head-
You make some great points. I'm waiting to see if this serves as a wake up call for him. That will be very telling. If it doesn't, then I will stop worrying because it's up to him at that point.
In regards to me wanting it more than him, yes I have questioned myself on that and done some serious soul searching. I do not believe that's the case. I love baseball and I love seeing my kid excel, but I just want him to be happy while knowing that I have given him all the tools and opportunities to succeed. It doesn't bother me personally that he's not on the hs team, it bothers me that he wanted something so bad and didn't put in the effort.
