lol, TR.
Can't imagine that the kids out East are much different than the kids in the Midwest or Cali or Texas re girlfriends.
They're kids!
After talking to several NCAA Summer League coaches they made the comment they have always lost players each year mid season because a player missed his GF. 
One player gf's showed up, he pitched the next day giving up 9 runs and getting no outs and quit the next day claiming he missed his gf. She lived 5 miles away from where he lived too
Funny thing was alot of players who had GF's supposely back home, during summer ball were cheating on them left and right, but got real upset when their GF's did the same.
Ball players are weird about GF's , they are jealous of other players are with attractive GF's or if the girl is not a looker they make fun of the player.
A GF can be a positve thing on a ball player. Every ball player likes having people come and watch them play. And if your GF will sit through a game in 100 degree heat, you have a keeper or she ran out of money to shop that day

You da man when it comes to baseball advice, but I respectfully disagree on the girl thing. My frosh loves baseball to the max, and has since he was first picking up a bat, but he was making some crazy sounds when in the throes of the wicked witch of the heart. After it finally ended, his exact words "I can't believe I was even thinking those things" (transfer to closer to the honey,etc.)
If an English King could renounce the throne for his American honey, don't be suprised if college baseball players aren't immune to the love bug.

I think the best girlfriend that a dedicated baseball player can have is a dedicated softball player! She will understand the schedule and dedication level!
I think most ballplayers would rather date a Victoria Secrets model or a H.ooters Girl, JK
Oh, GROW UP, Andy!

I guess it depends on whether or not she can throw BP and fungo. If the answer is yes, I have no problem with girlfriends.

Actually I suspect any daughter of a major league team owner in her early 20's would be the top choice; George W's daughters would qualify even though he's no longer a team official, as he presumably has acccess to great seats....
"Paris Hilton needs to gain about 30 pounds to be a real woman." And shrink about 30 inches.
"I think the best girlfriend that a dedicated baseball player can have is a dedicated softball player! She will understand the schedule and dedication level!" Say, what about Jenny Finch, the blond who co-hosts TWIB, she'll throw you batting practice, and she's really hot! Nah, she's too tall for me, I hate women taller than me, and who throw harder than me. She's probably taken anyway.
Swingbuster that was pretty good! O.K. now, serious thought: How many MLers have longt-time GF's or are married? I think Roy Halladay is. And how many who made it and dated in High School? I still say it depends on the girl. She must be willing to miss you when you go on a long road-trip, and not cheat. As for HighSchoolers, don't know, never dated. Where I'm from these women wouldn't have just ruined my career, they would have ruined my whole life.

He was as much a team official as he is a Dentist. But hopefully, his Daughters would have at least inherited their Mothers' brains rather than his.

I won't introduce politics into a baseball web site 
(now there's a topic), but if the guy drew a check, and he did, and could stroll in as he pleased, and he did, that's "official" enough for me. And I like George W. just fine, but won't start a political discourse. We all know there are no politics in baseball (at least there aren't on the field of play, during a game...).

Not sure many of you could handle or afford Paris Hilton. Paris does need to eat a bit more and dress better. The fashion police have arrested her many times
I'll ditto Underground's post. My 06's GF plays at a rival HS. Nothing to distract him from his games or his studi.es. Summer may be different, though. BTW, her brother plays BSB so it's a ballplaying family. Couldn't have picked a better girl for him.
On the other hand, a couple years ago he was totally whipped by a girl one summer, and his golf game (Fall sport in VA) went into the dumper until they broke up. Claims he'll never make that mistake, again.
I Timothy 4:8

I can't remember what local college kid said it....but I remember I laughed....when talking about baseball season and girls....he said...he didnt date during baseball season, because baseball gets jeolous.
If your son is to have a girl friend, encourage him to date a girl on the softball team. That way they can spend their evenings helping each other with their swings, soft toss, etc.
Otherwise, I agree with Dad04 and Bobby Bouche's mama -- "didn't I tell you girls was the devil".
- Whoever said a walk was as good as a hit, couldn't hit.

some people have seen THE WATERBOY a few too many times.

I can tell you that i believe that it can badly hurt a players focus. There is a kid at the local HS who is REALLY talented. A definite DI prospect. He's all wrapped up in this girl and isn't working at all on improving his game. His play on the field has fallen off alot.
I have had the same girlfriend for about 2 1/2 years. I met her during my sophomore year of baseball. She has been nothing but supportive of me and my HS baseball career, and now through my Tommy John rehab and my future career at Indiana State. I find it helpful that she is very very serious about her ballet and she is going on a scholarship somewhere. I just find it helpful to find someone to vent to when I do poor on the mound, and there are always things you can say to her that a kid might be hesitant to say in front of their parents.
I have found that it has driven me more to be a good ballplayer, because as stated above no girlfriend wants to be the girlfriend of the 0-10 pitcher with q 19.25 ERA

Must be nice. My own parentswere never that supportive. Heck I remember my dad telling me when I was 11 or 12, to "find something else you wanna do, cause I don't think you'll make it."
