Bobble, I am truly happy that you and your son had a great experience from a young age. I love baseball, my son loves baseball and I am not looking forward to the day when it all ends, whenever that might be. I will look back on these days as the best in my life, as I'm sure you do.
My son did rec ball till he was 11, then moved on. As of now, it has worked out great for him. Couldn't have asked for more. I'm just re-thinking whether or not travel is necessary at those younger ages. For him it was not. I really didn't mean to say that it is a bad thing.
Congratulations on your son being successful and moving on to real life. I'm sure the lessons he learned in baseball will make him a much better person.
