Can we start this week off right?

First of all my son is an 8th grader who has potential. At what position – who knows, catcher, pitcher, guitar, sax, mathematician, computer geek (oh, sorry that’s me), scientist, etc, etc.

I think most of us are here because we love baseball and are trying to help young men become better at the game and as adults make sure we have the tools to help them along the way. The folks who provide guidance “just because” some one helped them or they would like to help families like mine avoid some headaches/heartaches are just awesome.

Yes I’m going to be long winded.

Anyone who has a son that plays competitive ball knows it is a family commitment. We have a four month calendar on the wall where events (band, practice, games, tournaments, Dad travel, etc) are color coded and when the calendar is completely filled out there is very little white space. Some would argue that we are pushing our son to hard – I would counter that my son is pushing me to hard.

Baseball is a social life to us. You may disagree but we enjoy seeing our son interaction/long term friendships with his teammates and we equally enjoy the time we have with the ballplayers’ parents. Road trips are fun and we get to stay in some real classy hotels with great amenities like um, um, um….. did I mention the parents are really great.

Goals – kinda simple

Have a great 8th grade year
Make at least the freshman team next year
Keep grades up – As
Keep grades up - As
Keep grades up - As
Avoid girls at all cost – yeah right!!!

Baseball is fun!!!!!!

PS: Just to brag a bit, my son is just absolutely crushing the ball right now – his catching skills behind the plate have just matured and he is up there with anyone we have seen.

PS2: Let us posters have some fun – it’s the kids game, lets enjoy it.

PS3: If you build it, they will come…..Bob Built this and here we are – for the love of the game
