One thing I hope for my own son is that no matter how far he goes in baseball, that baseball remains only a part of his identity, never fully defines him as a person and as a man.
It sounds as if your son has kept baseball in its proper perspective, and that you have too. I certainly hope you do hang around here. None of us know how far we are away from dealing with the same thing, and we can use your help when we do!
