Sometimes parents who are aggressively developing their still-young players ("I'm real careful.

As he passed the 30th floor, he yelled out, "I'm all right so far!"

I hear ya. I hear all the time how careful parents are, but every once in a while those stories surface. For example, "my son plays two leagues at 12 but he only pitches on one, the other he catches".
