I found this site at the end of 2021, after my son’s first full season in majors. I was finally at the point that I felt like talking baseball again.
As a parent of a sports first kid that wasn’t highly interested in academics, who wasn’t recruited out of HS but managed to get himself to the MLB by disregarding most of my advice, I have a unique perspective of parental ineptitude through the entire process.
I’ve enjoyed sharing stories with many on this site, and there’s a wealth of information here in the archives and with the very knowledgeable regulars. However, as a recent post has mentioned, there really isn’t much in the way of new parents working their way through the process or needing help. It seems to be mostly venting, and I find myself getting sucked in and disappointed in myself for the time suck.
Feel free to IM me any time, but I’m going to take a break from the site for a while.
Thank you all, and for those of you who still have horses in the race, wishing y’all a fantastic season.
