I see a thread that is leaning towards the baseball only versus multiple sports debate. I believe we lost the ability to poll with the last upgrade. I'll tally the results after a few days. Keep it simple so I don't have to dig for the answer. Explanations are unneccesary.
Did your son/daughter play just varsity baseball/softball in high school or play multiple varsity sports?
Daughter - 3 sports

8th grade son - 2 and plans on playing two in high school.
Son #1 will be 1 sport only.
Other three kids are TBD.
Son 1
1 son 1 sport only.
Son - 1
He would have liked, not loved, to play basketball in HS, but didn't want to put in the 10 months a year that they demand. Football would have been the same, with mandatory weeks in June, July and August.
8th Grade Son, plans on just baseball, but never know...
Son 2015, baseball, basketball, and football (9th and 12th)
Son 2019, baseball, basketball and football thru 8th grade. This year (freshman) football and baseball only. Wanted to play basketball, too, but chose to devote more time to baseball to have a better shot in a very competitive baseball program. Asked him last week if he was happy with that decision, and he said yes.

We are fortunate that the HS football and baseball coaches don't mind my son playing both sports. Now, he will still have to give the football coach his summer schedule and will be expected to participate on his off days.
Son 1 - 2 sports, baseball and Olympic weightlifting
He would have been 3 and added basketball but he had two concussions within 5 weeks playing hoops his Soph year and he decided to spend that time working out Jr year and got hooked on weightlifting. He went back and forth in going back to hoops this year but decided against it (parents really wanted him to play his senior year).
Son 2 - 8th grader who plays football, basketball and baseball. We plan on keeping him in all three as long as he still enjoys them all.
Son 1. Football only
son 2. Baseball and football through soph year then baseball only
Oops. Son 3. Hockey only. Almost forgot him

You are. Son's HS football coach said that he would NOT allow him to play baseball in the summer if he played football. So son declined to play football, rather then skip the summer baseball.
AA school, largest classification in the state, so basketball would demand more time then he was willing to give. I saw several year-round basketball only players get cut from that program.
It was my hope that the coaches would be a little reasonable, but it didn't work out that way.
He does get to play HS rec basketball so he gets his fix there.
