I would say your son is in an elite class. My son at 14 was topping out at 82, cruising at 78. He played with another kid that would cruise at 82, and could probably top out at 85.

My boy is

freshman year



senior year





college freshman year

from Ping! Baseball:

Elon infielder Greg Annarummo spent a day last week blistering horsehide like it said something bad about his mama. The freshman from Bristol, Rhode Island belted three home runs and drove in 10 runs to lead the Elon Phoenix to a 19-10 rout of the visiting Wake Forest Demon Deacons last week. Annarummo started the contest by launching a bomb into the trees in left-center for his first career grand slam in the first inning. In the second frame, Annarummo blasted his second long ball of the night, driving in two more runs. A hard hit double to the gap in left to scored another in the third and Annarummo drove in his eighth, ninth and 10th RBI of the game with a three-run homer to left-center in the seventh inning. Annarummo needed a solo home run for the home run cycle - a solo, two-run, three-run and grand slam in one game.

Wow, mine doesn't even look like this anymore!

LOL, TPM...I would not even recognize that as DK!!

Here is JT, Jr...4 years, 2 inches,
and 30 lbs ago.


..................................................And last Spring.

How do you do this?

Oops, well, son didn't want his very first PG picture up (he'd just turned 14 and was only 5'6" 130), but don't think he'll object to his last PG photo, circa 2006, when he'd just turned 16. He's now a few months into his 18th year, 6'1" 170 and the long-awaited college-level weight-training and conditioning program begins next week. Here we go!

Go to the PG website and type in your son's last name to search the database.

Your son's picture has to have a web link --- any website ---- you then add that link into the picture "drop down tab" at the top of the reply window. If your son has a picture on the web just right click on on the picture and properties will give you the web address. You can't actually add pictures to the HSBBW --- you have to add web links to pictures. Since I have a blog and my son's picture is on that blog I can link that to the HSBBW ---- like this:

Right click on the picture. Go to properties. Copy the URL. Open up the reply to post here. The little square to the right of the envelope....paste the URL into the white space. Then post the reply.

Here's a good one of TPM's son:

Kinda fun to put a face to our webster's sons...

Couldn't get the PG one to post but here is my entry from another site...


Quinton Miller

So, you only want PG guys?
Mine never did a PG event. Is it ok to post his pic?

The PG photo, alas, was taken with the sun in his eyes (squinting). Not a keeper.

For whatever reason, the guy who takes USA Baseball photos has always had the knack for the flattering shot.



He looks a lot less friendly when he's coming at you!




Hopefully within a few months I'll have some in the new "Old Gold & Black" uniform!

Iheart,

Any photos are welcome. I thought that many of the posters here have been to PG events and might have their kid's picture on the PG site.

Since it is "Please Identify Your Son" I put his name at the bottom of his picture. Some who have since posted are well known and their kids need no introduction. It might be helpful if a name accompanied the picture, but I don't really care. I'm just a picture nut.

Of course it is. Mine never went to a PG event either.
But if you stop to think about posting from a PG website makes perfect sense. It comes from a website and is easy to post, it sends a message that he is a baseball player, it sends the message that he has been invited to Perfect Game event (which has become an "must do" in the opinion of most pro active parents).

Here he was in June:




And here is in August:



Something happened in those two months, but I'm not sure what it was...

Who cares if it is a PG photo or not, this stuff is great. Brings back some great memories.

Thanks, for the idea TMM_Dad

I'll try to post Quinton



Guess it didn't work for me either.

How 'bout this one of Mr. Pirate, Quinton Miller...

Amazing how handsome these boys are.........keep it coming!

This is so much fun...I love seeing all these photos in one place! What handsome sons you all have!


Here's my son Joe almost 6 years ago at his only showcase, at which he met Holden Caulfield's son:



And I think these are from his last season of college ball:





And with another one of my favorite guys:

If anyone wants a photo posted that is not available on a website somewhere, send it to me at hsbaseballweb@comcast.net. I'll post it and send you back a link.

I am re-posting with 3 photos of my son, because his PG photo just doesn't do him justice!
