College Ball Opening Day!!

Any of the dads who have kids fortunate enough to be playing starting to get fired up yet? baseball4

MOM sure is. LOL

Very psyched but it is gonna be weired not going to every game like we did in high school. Won't miss the weather but will definately miss the games. Last year, I only got to see my oldest kid pitch once. Drove all the way to Salibury, Maryland for the weekend and they got rained out that night. (27 inches of snow there today!)

I am fired up as much as you can imagine. I'm just worried that the weather is setting me up for a big let down.

It sure seems like this was the longest off-season ever. Openeing day is the 19th and, cruelly, my kid doesn't start until the 20th!

baseballMOM is fired up!! this is baseballSONS senior year...

My bad for forgetting to mention the Moms out there and checking to see if they are fired up. Baseball Mom in our family doesn't necessarily get fired up but she sure does get nervous when our son gets to pitch or play in the field or hit. She does OK when she is actually at the game but she will not listen to the internet "radio' broadcast or watch the internet TV feed or whatever they call the thing you can watch on your computer.

All's forgiven!
think I was the original "baseballmom"...even before the "site crash" in 2002, or dirt, for that matter!!
Hope to see bbson in Houston a couple times & then at Turchin, in May, when he "walks"!!! So proud of his accomplishments...the priviledge of playing for 4 years & his degree! What a blessing!

Good luck to all our boys this season!!

Son's NAIA team started this past weekend. It can and does get cold and wet in Louisiana as well. Team got great pitching and mediocre hitting to split the four games. At least it is underway.

Can't wait! Junior has been getting in a lot of innings and is beginning to feel his oats.. Wife and next-in-line son are heading down for opening tourny and to get in a visit at a nearby..

Have subscribed to A-Sun TV so I can watch the games online. Quality isn't the best but it'll do in a pinch.

Best of luck to all of the college parents for a great baseball season.

We leave for Florida 3/5. My sons team starts play with a doubleheader 3/6 at Dodgertown. I also have been checking the websites of the guys my son played with on the Norwood Blues as well as his high school team mates. In addition, players like Firth, Havey, Kennedy, Nasshan, etc., that he played against. I wish everyone a great, fun filled college career. I will be keeping up with them all. It's great working from home......can take enough breaks to do so!

BBfan58, we'll be in Dodgertown on that Sunday. Hearland starts on Monday with two games. They are ranked second by the NJCAA for D2 JUCO nationally and 22 of all JUCO's by PG crosschecker. They hope they live up to the ranking, and maybe go one spot better.

I don't see any Rochester games listed after Sunday. Are you traveling after playing the weekend at Dodgertown?

BBDad1954- I saw on the Heartland site you guys will be in the area. So, perhaps we'll see each other that day. We play a double header at the stadium on Saturday (9am and "TBD") then on Sunday we have a single game on field 6, again at a time to be decided. Then yes, we have a travel day on Monday and the team goes to the Orlando area to plat a UAA tournament at Sanford Memorial Stadium Tuesday through Saturday. Then on Sunday the 14th there is a practice and then the team flies back to Rochester.

Strap yourselves in... here we go.

And BTW, do the butterflies EVER go away? For the parents, that is....

Right after they can no longer find a pulse.

Sean Kennedy son of legendary HSBW poster JKennedy hurls 3 1/3 innings of relief in the Jacksonville opener; 1 run allowed and 4K's.

Atta boy, Kid!

Thanks, Travel. Can't tell you how exciting it was to watch his debut on A-Sun TV. He gets his first start Tuesday against Charleston. Keep us posted on Joey's trip to Florida...

My alma mater, San Diego, got off to a nice start beating Indiana 3 out of 4. I am sure it was a nice trip for some of the midwestern boys. USD is a beautiful campus with nice facilities.
