7 years old...he's the short kid, blue pants....before the championship game of his first real "tournament". Ended up losing back to back games to the losers bracket champ. Worked out ok though because the next spring, we found out the coach of the orange team was running a new travel team. My son tried out and ended up playing with them for 4 years and is still good friends with that coach and 3 of the kids the team that beat us. They still never let him forget that day lol. Funny how things work out.
I am guessing he was 7 when I took this pic. 
One of my favorites! Kids feet are not even on the ground.. Came in to shutdown a bases loaded one out situation. LL 10yr old All Stars
An 11u tourney in NJ with an early AM start.

I know your pictures bring back some great memories. This one is our favorite.

This is my all time favorite. I remind Ryley all the time......when it all started at 4. I miss those days big time.

Oh, how we miss those days.
Wish I had some of when my son was really young, but this is one will have to do....3 years ago
Thanks for starting this thread. 9U Little League.
Age 9, half a head smaller than mom (on the right).
Age 11, with his 8 yo brother
Age 14, freshman year. About 6'3"/150 here, and one of the last times he used that glove...
Taken some time last season (this can be a facial recognition test).
Here's a picture of my son in 2017 with then Yankee (now White Sox) prospect Blake Rutherford. I'm not sure about Blake, but my son has grown 9 inches since then!
Great photos, everyone...thanks for sharing!

The first two are when my son was 18 months. The last is this summer.

Yeah. Freshman year, though admittedly just six weeks before his 15th birthday.

that day.
Hah. I remember our first game at 8yo. In Brighton against Green Mountain. It was 22 degrees and snowing. Our was the only game not cancelled that day. We walked the first 17 in a row. All you could hear from the dugout was crying.
Nice to meet everyone! Here are my players:
Summer 2016 - Cooperstown Road Runner champ
Summer 2018 - some PG 11U tourney "Fastest Pitch" winner with a 71 mph heater. 😊
Best to all!
My son at 9 and 14. Now a 17yr old Jr. Time flies but sure have enjoyed the ride!
There’s a lot of love on this board/thread...had to go with a Fresh pic snapped recently in St Lucie since I only went TT on OP!
Nice, Shove... what's up with the socks? 
He wears Stance socks...I have no idea what’s up?? Good catch tho, I’m so used to seeing him in stirrups or pants up in Milb since he left Clemson and those Clemson cut pants....I missed it!

Nice!
By the way, I thought about you yesterday at the rubber match. :-)
I hope all is well.
What a bloodbath, Carolina looks good. It’s a good time to be in Columbia. I think Kingston has some good things going on.

Thanks, Boss!
Monte and the boys will make a run for Omaha. That’s a talented team.
