Great point Teaching Elder. I watched all three of my kids play ball and they were significantly better than I ever was or dreamed of being....I'll be the first to admit that. Baseball was a love of mine but it never loved me back. At the time, it never bothered me that my parents rarely came to my baseball games (not because I sucked) because that isn't what most parents did in the 70s. On the other hand, I rarely missed any of my kids high school, travel or college games. It is a vastly different parenting style today.
