adbono thank you for the complement:
Tim is only here to help the unanointed and unknowledgeable to find the Holy Grail of College Baseball...
For some it is a roster spot at Vanderbilt, for others it is playing for the Cal Tech Beavers...
For those like "Iamthatguy" it is hopefully keeping their sons from becoming the next Todd Marinovich of baseball...
For those who do not know, the Holy Grail of pre-college baseball is to be found in the Cave of the Caebannog (located in Cedar Rapids) where carved in the mystic ruins upon the living rock of Iowa PGStaff wrote "throw 90 and they will find you"
For others the entrance is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man has fought with it and lived....
It is called "travel ball coach" who has strewn, outside their lairs of baseball dugouts, the bones of unrealistic dads and moms who thought their sons were the brave knights of "those who say Ni" but were really the drinkers of potions from "former MLB baseball players" who filled their brains that they could create flame - without flint, and tinder...
For that ability - it is only Tim.
...for all other parents death awaits you all... with nasty, big, pointy teeth, it is called youth baseball.
Signed - Tim
