BBallman,

Thanks for sharing. Not a single person here's life turned out the way they planned. I know mine didn't. One of the beauty's of baseball is that it mirrors life so much and your son has had an amazing experience that most never get to experience. All of his experiences are going to make him so much stronger and successful no matter what he decides to do. BOF Jr's ride ended last year and it took a while for it to sink in, but you know what? I talk to him much more than I ever did when he was on the college/school/baseball high wire. Do I miss it? Sure I do, but we're talking about all kinds of life things that we never had the time before due to his crazy schedule. He is now busy plotting his life course instead of baseball, which in the end is what we all want from our kids. Plus we get to play golf now! Congrats to you and your son for completing what most never get the chance to.
