Having watched your son play in person, I know he is a fine player. A very fine player who should get other opportunities. As you say, I know he was an "inch away" a couple/few times. So much of this journey as about being in the right situation and a little bit of luck to boot. One thing for sure, he IS good enough to play in the big leagues....just hoping he gets the right chance soon.
Having met your son, I also know he is a really fine person who will have no trouble succeeding in life, wherever that takes him. He will be an awesome husband, father and mentor to others, just because he is who he is and he was raised by you!
Hoping the best for Tyler...soon!
