A lot of the topics posted on this site are very serious in nature so let’s change it up a little and have some fun today.
Please share throwback photo(s) of your son(s) and also include grade or age at the time of the photo.
Ready, set, go!
Thank you in advance for sharing. :-)

#1 11U Summer: U trip AAA state back in 08, he came in to relieve his buddy Matt Olson who plays at Richmond now and threw 4 scoreless to win the game. Team Wilson AAA state champs...such a big deal back then.
#2 6U FallBall: He still makes this face...holding breath and used to always grunt...i think he still does.
#3 6U Fallball: One of my all time favs.
EDIT: I had to add some of him when he was little ..these others from y'all are great!

I see the orange ‘stache on his lip. LoL

Great pics. Love the batting helmet with chinstrap look. Baller.
Good idea. Here are a few to share:
Photo 1- About the time that he started playing T-ball, and his first MLB love were the Twins (before it became the Nats).
Photo 2: Rooting for the Nats after the team came to DC and the new stadium opened.
Photo 3: Spending time with Dominican and American players in Consuelo, DR on the amazing Home Run Baseball Camp trip organized by the one and only Coach Mac. Our son is third from the right.
Photo 4: Pitching in the Kyle's Kamp tournament, an event in DC/VA that raises money every year to help kids battling cancer.
I'm guessing 10u park ball - 2017 is the kid with the big grin and big gap in front

There aren’t many things better than an Icee on a hot, summer day.
First weekend of son's 13U or 14U summer season.....he's on the right. All 5 of those guys were all the same grade (2015) and all eventually went to D1's. From left...Kent St, Virginia, BGSU, Gardner Webb and BGSU....funny thing is, at 6'1, he's the tallest of those 5 now.

This is close.
That’s probably better. :-)
This is a great idea HSHULER. The top picture was about age 8. LSU wasn’t on the radar. He was all UGA then. A good friend was the coach and is HUGE LSU fan I guess it was destiny, haha. The bottom picture is from Omaha this past season. Unfortunately, it was from game 1 of finals against the Gators. We came up a bit short.

Asked for two, he sent 300, now that's just awesome!
Sorry, it's s****r. 2019 is the taller kid in front of the goalie. This was probably 2008. The kid to the far right is the only boy who seems to know who Beckham is.
I'll play:

He probably explained it helped him with quality ABs.

I think I was at that game. We live just south of Omaha and get to 3-4 games every year.

That’s quite a progression. Thanks for sharing!

No such thing as pic-posting abuse on this thread.
Keep ‘em coming!
Okay - I'll play.
Cooperstown (2005) - he's first one on the left front row.
High School (Senior Year 2012) - Back row middle (#12)
Junior College (2013):
Can't seem to find pics from when he went on to a D2 University. Probably on my other computer.
Ah. I found them.
D2 Regional Playoffs:
D2 - On the big screen:
10 PONY Regionals, 12U with a crazy knuckler, Varsity Triple, and the present at UTRGV.
I just thought of something else. Send videos if you have them too. :-)
Not sure if this will work as it’s from a Tweet someone posted. My son is at the plate. The commentary, by the father of an opposing player, is priceless.
BIG rivalry game as the teams are adjoining towns.

I believe it was a 2-4 game at that point. Late in the game. HR put them up 5-4, which was the final score.

Thanks. Nothing beats that dad’s comments. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to it and laughed. The other team has always been superior in baseball, but things changed over the past couple of years. It was sweet to watch.

^One player who I would NOT want to be hit by playing dodgeball.
I love seeing all the photos! Am I the only one who got lost on Memory Lane as they searched old pics? It goes by so fast.
8U - 2012 One of my all time favs. He's no longer a catcher.
9u - 2013 Disney World.
14u Cary 2017 - Stealing 2nd (safe)
