OK - I'll start with a kid I have known for quite some time. He plays with HiHardHeat's son at Elon University.

Chris Vasami - Chris had back to back 5 RBI games this week - 10 RBI's in 2 games.

Thats pretty darn good.

We only got 1 game in last weekend. Brad went 3-6 with 2 RBI. Also had an E. I think he thought the 1B had moved up 10 rows into the stands!!

TPM......I rarely talk about my boy here, but after labrum surgery in December 2005 (14 months ago) he had his first outing last Saturday in Texas. It was awesome just to see him pitch again:

Great thread and please add links if possible. Love keeping up with the HSBBW crew.

What fun to read about all of these boys!

Chris Vasami, 10 RBI's in 2 games!! WOW!

pfbear, it sounds like your son had a great game, and I love your description of the E: "I think he thought the 1B had moved up 10 rows into the stands!!" I can definitely picture the throw!

grateful, what an amazing comeback outing for Eric, seven scoreless innings! Congrats to him! This is not too shabby either: "Dating back to May 16, 2004, Theisen has now won nine-straight decisions."

Very very impressive and I love living vicariously through your sons. Looking forward to following them more and more. Congrats all around.

Wow, this has been a very fine week for some HSBBW players. Congrats to David for a terrific first outing.
pf, that 1B was way out of position. Throw seemed perfect to me.
grateful, that website story, combined with yours in another thread is just wonderful. I have a sense of what you have seen and what determination and perseverance occurred with your son over those past 14 months. My hat is off to him..and to you. When you read about the impact of labrum tears and surgery on pitchers, this story is even more compelling.

Playing the game well is a big challenge for most. Coming back from a major injury like a shoulder or elbow and playing well is quite a significant accomplishment.

Well done to all and a special well done to grateful jr., rz2, infieldkid, and other comeback kids. We are watching and cheering.

Georgia State beats Georgia Tech!

Orlando's son Aeden goes 4 for 3 with 1 run and 2 RBI!

Way to go!

Orlando's son Aeden goes 4 for 3

Spoken like a proud pitcher's Mom.
Bet TPM wouldn't say that if he went 4 for 3 off some Clemson guys.
Even if was 3-4, that is a great day for anyone, especially playing Ga. Tech.

Orlando's son goes 3 for 4!

Thanks Bill,

Been in rain delay waiting for game since 4 pm tired...LOL. Duhhhh!

My friend's sons can hit off mine anyday!

congrats to G-St, esp Orlando Jr

the GT/G-St cross avenue rivalry can be pretty intense ..
I often sat by a G-St pitcher's Dad & a G-Tech's pitcher's Dad ... they were the SAME guy -
boy was that ever difficult - it's a good thing I'm TACTFULL & SMOOTH


thank goodness for tailgating

My son's season hasn't started yet, so I will brag on another webster's son, who I am sure will be too modest to post about him:

LHPitcher's son, Blake Keitzman, is a freshman LHP at Oregon State. Late last summer he blew out his ACL.

He had surgery, went through all the rehab, and was ready to pitch for the start of this season.

He's had three outings so far this season. In the most recent against Missouri last Sunday he pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings, giving up one hit, to get his first save.

And he was nominated for PAC-10 pitcher of the week!

How's that for a start to a college pitching career!

We're headed to La-Lafayette this weekend and are fortunate enough to not have to face Buddy Glass. He is of course the son of Dad04. Buddy is now 2-0 on the mound after a nice 6 inning performance last night...Congratulations.

OK...
...well...if you insist.

JT, Jr is off to a start we never imagined 6 months ago. Batting leadoff for Lynchburg College and playing LF as a freshman. He's batting .400 (.519 OBP) thru 6 games with 2 doubles and a triple, with 10 runs scored. Add in two OF assists at home...
...and we're pretty excited right now.

What??? Dad04, we have to hear this through a reliable source, not straight from the source??? Geez, for us left coasters, we really need to have you focus on the title of this thread and let us know about "your" player...Please???
Congrats to Buddy. Great start to the year. Here is hoping there are many more...that get reported on this site.

Way to go, Buddy Glass!

Dad04 and Coach Merc,
Have a fun weekend! Try not to do too much ragin' in cajun country!

Sorry....won't let it happen again.... He is on a pretty good team, though.

ink....

I can see Coach Merc and Dad04 posting a request for bail from a Cajun lock-up.

John, you be nice with Coach Merc


Coach Merc.....Dad04..........New HSBBW members

It puts a whole new meaning to "over the fence" and "going yard". Volunteers will be lining up to chase foul balls, and asking to go out to the parking lot to turn off their cars headlights.

Due to weather I guess it will be a couple days of "trackin" HSBBW teams/players for me. TPM came up with an idea and this may be a good weekly thread to let everyone know who's playing where, and when, then follow up next week with results.

Give a reply to where, and when so we can track and check up on the HSBBW teams.

Boy, hard to top rz1's description of those fella's visiting in Cajun country.
With that said, here goes: CD, jr. had himself another fine day. 2-5 with 2 runs scored as those boys from Coastal beat #12 ranked TCU. If these Carolina guys aren't careful, someone is going to start paying attention to them.

Elon beats Miami in weekend opener, I am IMPRESSED!

In the Dad04 vs Coach Merc battle in the swamps of Loweeeziannna Dad04's cajuns took the first game against the team without a mascot, the Univ of IL. But ....Coach Mercs son Joe rapped a double off the wall in his first college AB for the Illini.

NICE START JOE

That is a thrill that the young man and the family will never forget - huge congrats

Double in first AB...
...attaboy. Congrats Coach Merc and to your son.

Here is Joe scoring from 2B about 90 seconds after his first AB. He is on his way. Mr. and Mrs. Coach Merc were pretty excited. Good looking kid! Looks just like his Mom....

Nice!

Looks like TPM is being modest today. DK had another sterling outing. Way to go.


http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/recaps/022407aac.html

I didn't realize DK pitched yesterday. I watched live stats on the first game that went extra innings but assumed maybe he was out due to the ankle injury he had earlier in the week. Congrats to DK and Clemson

Thanks all, but at this time, I just go with the flow with the philiososphy he should know what he's doing.
He has a fantastic trainer who had him pitching pen by thursday.

I love hearing about about all of the websters son's and watching their progress, so don't stop and don't be modest!

Nice demo on sliding into home too.............

Sho' fun, ain't it?

What a great thread! Thanks TPM for starting it...it really is enjoyable to stay up with how the players are doing.....and to those doing well...congratulations!

.....and Grateful....you certainly must be..... after son's wonderful comeback from surgery.....

It warms my heart to see the Certified Athletic Trainers getting love from the parents. They put in longer hours than either the coaches or players...
...so, if you have a chance, thank them for being there for your sons.

Coach Merc.....

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll catch up to you one of these days here, in the Illini nation. Best of luck to your son.

TPM.....

Its great to have an athletic department that has the great talent in helping their players recover quickly from an injury. I wish him well and cintinued success.

As a parent, I think the baseball trainer is awesome and so does the team and coaches, that is what counts most. He is an integral part of the team and their success and available 24/7.
He got DK into xray asap and after diagnosis, started pt by monday early afternoon. By thrusday he was good to go.

BoomerIL,
First year I was not too impressed with the trainer, nice guy, but coach made a change and it has been a very good one. I guess maybe they are not all created equal?

JT,
Here ya go!
