I remember Francis by another name on another board. His kid’s story into the teen years was a soap opera. It made me wonder if Francis was crazy and if his kid had the talent. I suggested he find a travel program with good instruction. It all worked out well for Jr.

Like a lot of fathers of kids playing baseball, I admit that I would over- think things when he was 8 through 12. Thankfully I learned to back off after Cooperstown. I know a lot of fathers who didn't and many of them are now watching their kid play their last year...if the kid hasn't quit already.

I'm grateful to have seen the light and stepped back. But, I also feel that my son would have requested it anyway, even if I hadn't done it on my own. Once he became a teenager, he assumed control of his own path and made his own decisions regarding baseball.
