Again, doverbird, I will ask...who are you referring to? You obviously took offense to someone shortchanging your son of a hit or two, which is OK. If that is your beef, I understand. Could the omission have been an honest mistake? Could the newspaper gotten it wrong? Or are you sure it is a conspiracy to make one player look better than another?

As for stats not mattering, the only context in which they do matter is for the HS coaches who do not pay attention to opposing players during the games. Most coaches know who the players are after seeing them at least twice during the season.

You infer there is daddy ball in HS baseball. I know of only 2 kids playing in Hampton Roads who have dads on coaching staffs - both kids are pretty darn good (1 D1 signee and another is talking to ACC schools).

As far as I know, there is no award for Area's Best Hitter. Lord knows that would be debated ad nauseum.
