Pre HS Player Pics

Posted even with the threat of TPG analysis...

Ross,

I'll see what I can dig up. But I'll say for now, he hasn't grown that much! He's still only 5' and 110 lbs and will be 13 in late July.

With me at 5'7" and graduating college at ~145 lbs., he wouldn't seem to have a whole lot of potential growth ahead.

Ross,

I'll find one of Chico (or take one this weekend) and post it. He is 5'9" and 130lbs now and still growing into his shoes.

Here's one. Just turned 10. 5' 95lbs.

Ross - Lil Beezer's holding steady at about 5'11" 150 lbs. I don't have any pics from this season yet but we're headed to a tourney this weekend so maybe I can snap a couple with Mrs Beezer's digital.

What happened to "Cute" Boomer? That boy in the pic is gettin a 'tude!!! (a very good one though)

I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture. Hopefully this picture of my 8 yr old will show up ok....

Jon

Ok, very nice. My other sons will want to see their pictures too so here's my 11 yr old from a couple weeks ago....



Jon

Last chance for Trainscout Jr as he will start HS in the fall! Photos from last summer's 13U team

Callaway,
CASon is 6'1 1/2" (in the morning) and weighs about 170 lbs. He's 15yo and just finished his JV season throwing 9 innings over 8 appearances giving up 1r, 0er, 2bb, 5h, 4k, 1hbp. He spent the first half of the season recovering from an arm injury. They play in one of the best leagues in the nation and a couple of the JV teams he threw against are stronger than most varsity teams, which is understandable given that the corresponding varsity teams were nationally ranked. In fact, our JVs beat our varsity in their annual scrimmage although the varsity's two best pitchers and the JV's two best pitchers (IMO) didn't pitch. If both teams had thrown just their best pitchers then the varsity would've won.

These "Eyes of a Stranger" can't see a picture.

Here is my son (pitching), this was last year in All-Stars. He was 11 at the time.

CUTIE PATOOTIES!!!!!!!!!
Future stud-muffins of America!!

Was at my sons 18U highly competitve tournament today, and found myself drifting over to the smaller field, filled with lil' 9 year old guys buzzin' around. Some of them didnt quite fit into their hats yet,....but ohhh could they play and play they did! It was a joy to watch!!

Here's Glove Boy

Nice pictures. Save them as they will becom more precious as the years go by. Nice Glove that Glove Boy is using! Can't quite make out the brand name on the glove
Fungo
PS to Glove man: Looks like he's wearing a LHP's hat . Gotta love 'em!

Cody in red with one of his friends, getting tall but still skinny as a rail.

Kevin during a Little League reg. season AB. All-Stars will start soon, so I should have more photos/video.



(facing very slow pitching, which is why he's up in the box a bit)

Ok we are new here, but, this is our Lefty this is a 13U AAA- pic we are now playing 14U Major. Lovin every minute of it.

How do I post a picture?

Beez

Hope I get this right. Copy your picture and then paste it by clicking on the 2nd box from the right. It is the box just the left of the one that looks like this. </> Good luck and I hope I'm not leading you astray. I think I put my picture in a website like photobucket or similar first so I could copy it.

Thanks. I've got a decent one I can post but need to scan it first.

Here's Lil'st papi in action:

Well, that didn't work. I used PhotoBucket and copied the url. Not sure what I did wrong.

Let's try this again.

Hey, I got it! Now, here's one of Lil'st Papi watching one of his older brother's games:

And here's medium papi hitting a home run in Omaha on my birthday last summer:

I am curious.
What is the reason for this thread and for posting pictures of your sons?

JMO, but I have been enjoying seeing the pictures of these boys - it reminds me of some fun times before the HS drama began. It's obvious that these parents are very proud of them, and I'm proud of mine. And it's nice to be in a thread where people aren't bashing each other or arguing semantics.

2Bmom, I think it is great that parents are proud of their sons. I am proud of my son too. I have a picture of him hitting in the minor leagues as my avatar.
But that doesn't explain, to me at least, why being proud of your son, at this age, translates into posting pictures of them on the HSBBW.

I guess Callaway will have to explain that. I just joined in 'cause I was bored at work and it was fun.

Keep the pictures coming. I enjoy them.

Does it bother you?

I didn't say it bothered me. I asked a questioned and said I am curious. Nothing more or less, just curious as to why.

Here's my take. We've shared some of our baseball experiences here with one another. We've become to some degree friends. I've found myself picturing in my mind the posters and their boys on occasion. It's just another way to strengthen the friendships we are making here. Chances are many of us will never meet so this is as close as we will get.


Besides, my kid is pretty good looking and I don't mind showing him off.

My original idea was to rip you for knocking us for putting pictures of our sons on here. Especially if you have your son as your avatar. If you don't like the idea, then just go away.

However, I'll assume your question is honest and tell you this, I love to watch my boys play and I love to look at pictures of them playing. Also, I love to see pictures of other boys playing. My fall team has a dad who's a professional photographer. I asked him to make me a CD of the pictures he takes and not just of my son. I think it's great fun to see someone else's perspective of the game.

Everyone likes to brag about their children. (well, maybe not Brittney Spears' mom). We all think our children are the smartest, best looking, best baseball players out there. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Can I go back to being mean (in a joking way) to infielddad? I'll bet you have a bumper sticker that says "My kid beat up your honor student"

All in good fun my friend.

Infielddad, I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your reference to "at this age" came across to me as just a bit hoity-toity. Seemed to me that you had a problem with it, too. But I'm glad you don't

bkecks, I'm with you! More pictures, please!
