@PitchingFan posted:Make sure you spread out coverage. My son was all-everything in baseball and even I got tired of seeing his picture on the front of the sports page each week. The funny part is they never did a real story about him and HIS story. Which is pretty neat. Yes he deserved to be on the front page because he normally led in everything but it was just boring after a while. The sad part was they used his old picture a couple of games when he was not the star of the game. Mix it up. You can give details but team pictures or the hidden gem every now and then is good. I think the true stories about the kids past and future is also good. Have you ever done an indepth story on your son?
I kept the book, did the stats and wrote the article for the local paper. The awkward part was my son was typically in the middle of everything. He was the top player on the team. I wrote a legitimate article and emailed it to the coach for him to adjust and spread the credit around. This example of altering the story by the coach even made some of the dads laugh.
The team won the game 10-4. Billy scored a couple of runs. Bobby drove in a couple. Joey pitched well in relief. Billy, Bobby and Jay were repeat hitters. RJM Jr added two doubles, a homer and six RBI’s to the effort.
