Many of us (parents and players) are just getting started with their college baseball careers. My son and I went to a doubleheader Sunday to see his future team play a division rival. It was worth the 5 hour drive. There are many college senior parents in the stands who's sons college career is coming to an end. Most will not play baseball again. I talked to 4 senior parents this weekend, and it is bittersweet for them. It is hard for me to appreciate their journey at this time as our journey is just getting started, but I was all ears anyway. All parents said they enjoyed the ride, and gave me awesome advise about the team/program and school. They had fantastic baseball stories to tell, and future plans (grad school and employment). I urge anyone in a similiar position to go to a game and talk to these senior parents. These senior parents have "been there and done that", and they have a lot to offer in advice if you want to listen. The one recurring theme was that they got a great education and got to play baseball too.
