Great topic for a thread @Dadbelly2023. What I find interesting about this site is you get a 360 degree view of a baseball topic. I love it for that purpose. Whether that is tips for making the high school team, getting college recruited or getting drafted.
So much has changed in the last 15-16 years including the questions, temperament of the posters, and the whole baseball ecosystem from LL to MLB. Like any social setting (electronic or face to face) you have to read the crowd and that can be challenging for newcomers. Early on, I had some interesting comments by some of the old timers about my approach with my oldest son. None the less, I listened to the data points of their message and generally ignored how the message was delivered. Some were very strongly worded. Regardless, I was seeking their knowledge and experience so you sometimes have to take the bad with the good. I didn't agree with everything they had to say, but always considered their viewpoint. There many here who have strong opinions and unique experiences. That is the "HSBBWeb gold", and what makes it a success in my opinion.
