I, as many of you on this site, don't feel comfortable talking about the accomplishments of my children in public for a number of reasons-one being that as sure as I do, the next outing will probably be a flop Big Grin, but I'm really proud of what my son just posted on his journal entry on CollegeBaseballInsider.com. If you have a spare moment check it out.

Also, Kevin Cooney has some journal entries that kind of put a lot of things into perspective.

Good reads from the other players as well. Very intelligent young men.

Moc1 - He is indeed a fine young man

For those that may be unaware - Ty Pryor has posted here on the hsbbweb as SonofaMoc. Maybe he can post here again someday. Ty has joined his brother Tucker on the North Florida team and they have produced some very big wins against nationally ranked competition. Moc1 and his family have much to be proud of.
For some reason I have always liked Ty Pryor since we first heard about him from his proud uncle (Moc1's brother) in Kansas City. His uncle was a former Major League player.

Obviously Ty had a lot of talent. We had him ranked among the top 100 in the country in 2003. Big strong kid with a big strong arm, threw around 92 mph in WWBA Jupiter for (I think) the Orlando Scorpions). He looks even bigger, much bigger, now.

Anyway, that article reminded me of what it might have been that we liked so much about him. What a great high class example for college baseball!

Moc1, You have every reason to be proud!
As a US Marine I say thanks. That's the honest truth and it is good to see an athlete who gets it. I get so tired of athletes and coaches saying stuff like, "we're going to war with the other team," or, "that was a war." No it wasn't and I hope those coaches and or players never see war. I'll also say that there are a lot of quality athletes in the military, many of them do their four year enlistments and get out to go on to college, some I'm sure play. Many members of the military moonlight in local leagues around their bases. I did it for a long time in Southern California unil my wife got tired of me going to work at 6AM coming home at 5PM and then driving 2 hours to play in a doubleheader. Sorry for the ramble.
