I just stumbled onto this incredible website and I am amazed at the amount of information and help I am sure this will bring to my family. I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I hope you can indulge me as I am new.I'm sure these are feeling felt by all of us.

My son plays baseball. My son eats, drink and sleeps baseball. My son has dreamed of baseball since he was 2. My son has the trophies, the awards, the game balls,the cleats on the floor, the dirt in the room,the seeds in the dryer ( I thoght I was the only one, but reading other posts it's obvious I'm not! Smile),and the uniforms from current and past years hanging proudly in the closet as trophies in their own rights.But what am I most proud of?
I am most proud of the fact that he is my son.He has been given a talent and this talent has given him opportunities. I have seen baseball help mold him into an incredible young man. The bond he has with his teamamtes and the bond he has with his coaches has given is something that will continue to guide him as he continues through high school and hopefully college.
So as I watch him play, I look at him as a baseball player, but most importantly as my son. The young man that will soon be a man.And know that our guidance will help him become the man he will necome. But baseball and his experinces in baseball will play a big part of that too.And to me that's priceless.

Thanks for the opportunity to be a bit mushy....and I look forward to meeting those of you who have more experience at this than I .My son is entering his junior year and as I can see form all of the information on this site, the fun (?)or work Winkis just beginning!

Welcome to the HSBBW!

I have learned one thing as a mom, the most important compliments for me one can give my son is that he is a a very nice young man and a good person, not anything about his playing ability.

I am sure mine would have been a fine person without baseball, but he has learned a lot from the game that we might have missed as parents. I am not sure if he would be as respectful in all facets of his life if it were not for baseball.

Baseball teaches great life lessons and no typing police here on the HSBBW!

Another welcome to the HSBBW!

I couldn't have said it better than you just did. I have always felt like the proud mama when I watched grown men talk to my son as someone they looked up to. I think they were, many times, looking at him as a good example for their own sons and that is a totally awesome feeling and lets you know that you really did do something right in the way you raised him. Yes, I agree, he probably would've been a fine young man anyway but because of their involvement in sports they seem to be noticed a little sooner as a fine young man.

I don't post a whole lot but I have learned so much from this site and enjoy reading about other people kids and you will find the same thing if you keep coming back! Good Luck on your journey with your son.
