What a terrific story told from the heart. Your son sounds like a great baseball talent who will no doubt succeed because of his winning attitude and motivation and desire.
Thanks.
First Julie - thanks for your comments and support as they are always appreciated.
letsplay2 - I don't think we've met before but it is my pleasure to welcome you here at the hsbbweb and thanks for your kind words.
They say there are five tools in baseball but I am convinced there are six and perhaps seven. The sixth tool comes from the heart and that is my son's best tool. His desire to succeed is his own and I take no credit for that as it all belongs to him. The seventh tool might be persistence in the face of adversity. Whatever it is, I would encourage all you out there to encourage your kid's sixth and seventh tools. They my not be the best players out there today, but five years from now, if they apply their tools everyday, they just might be. There is nothing more satisfying than that
