Congrats Bum. That is great! Any chance you were more nervous than he was?

Great debut!
I will be pulling for Rusty.
What a thrill it must have been just to type those words. Congrats to you and your son, Bum.
Thanks, everyone. I know Rusty is a confident kid, definitely not the nervous type, and just wants a chance to show what he can do. I'm so thankful he's got the chance.
Best of luck to Rusty.
Always a big need for good lefty specialists.

Very cool Bum! Congrats, keep your arm iced OR holding an iced brew!
So great! Congrats!
Add another pro player to the list! You must be so proud. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Bum! That's exciting!
Very good appearance whether it's his first of his career or if he's making his 400th appearance. That is getting the job done.
Congrats and keep the updates coming.

Outstanding! I love this stuff!
Congratulations to both you and your son. Great start!
Bum - I'll take a wild guess that this is a very emotional time for you! It was for me and still is frankly. Every day my son plays in baseball is a good day. Somedays the bear eats you and somedays you eat the bear. Only baseball people understand that. All the best to Rusty in the future!
Very exciting! Congrats to Rusty, and to your whole family, Bum. He is truly living the dream!

Wow, GREAT debut....Congratulations to you all

Yes, Cleveland Dad, it feels like vindication for a kid who was marginalized a few years ago and had to go D1 to D1 just to stay in the game. My advise to anyone: It ain't over til it's over. Thanks again, all.

OK, no more of these posts. I just wanted to share the beginning (a very good one). From now on, it is what it is.

Big congrats to Bum and Bum Jr.!
Bum,
Keep posting as long as he is doing well. Don't take any chances, this way seems to be working. If he is like every other pitcher, sooner or later, he will have a bad day. That's when you should stop. Besides, I for one, enjoy hearing about Rusty. Honestly, I'm not surprised, but this is fun stuff!

Bum congrats on Rusty being drafted and earning this opportunity. And I am not surprised by his success so far. And I am very happy for you and him. I really enjoy reading posts like this.
Here, Here ! This is one of the most exciting things about this site.
We come here trying to figure out HS Baseball and get a college offer. Over the years we become cyber friends and some move on from college to live the dream!
That was what really amazed me about this place, the dad's, mom's and players that we came to know moving on to pursue their baseball dreams!
Yes! I am with PG, and Coach May, keep the reports coming!
