Reply to "When did you know?"

I had the wonderfull opportunity to play at UNLV and signed in the 8th round in 1981 with the st louis cardinals. I always wanted my boys to follow my footsteps but one never knows their heart and desire when they first lace up the spikes and grab the leather. My "it" with my son kyle was watching him pitch as a freshman 3 years ago. he was 5ft 1 inch and 98 lbs. he was throwing mid 70's but had such a quick arm you just knew when the size came the velocity would follow. Today he is 6ft 1in and will play for texas state in the fall. He has been gunned at 92 on the stalker this season and was named to the 2nd team all region rawlings team. I remember telling him that he would one day be a 90mph kid if he kept at it..and here he is ready to move on to D1 baseball. For those who are late bloomers never give up, follow your passion and work hard. Dreams do come true....
