I just thought of something else. Send videos if you have them too. :-)

LOL! I have literally hours and hours (if not days or weeks or months) of video on DVD.   Wife recorded almost all of his HS games and all of the college games we attended.  If I really want to go down memory lane all I have to do is dig out a video.  It would probably take me a month or two to watch them all.  Probably close to 50 DVD's.  And that doesn't include some of his college games she never got around to burning to DVD.

All you have to do is pick one. :-)

Yeah, but which one????  There's quite a few good ones (and a few we'd rather not live over again ).

My favorite video of my 2017 CF.  In the background you can hear one of his soccer teammates at the game yelling "I love soccer! Soccer legs! " or something like that.

Sorry about the camera work.  The videographer (not me; I would have done a much poorer job) got a little excited.

How is his recovery process going?

You’re making this too hard. :-)

There has to be one, two or ten in particular that sparks feelings of nostalgia. 

I'm loving this thread... Here is my contribution. I particularly like the last two because they are exactly one year (and 3 inches) apart. The first is his first travel ball tournament at 12.

Okay I will share a few, my favorite is the third  one. He is the third guy from the right.

How is his recovery process going?

It was long and frustrating for him.  He didn't like his throwing protocol but he stuck with it.  He only had a few issues where he felt discomfort in his elbow but he was assured that it was due to scar tissue.  He isn't quite back to where he was with his velocity, but I think that is more mechanical than physical.  He has one more scrimmage to throw in this weekend and if he does well he thinks he may get one of the starter roles.  

Best wishes on a full recovery!

A friend sent me a link to the 6U All Star Shutterfly account. 

This photo sequence was before and after his first HR which just happenedto be a grand salami.

The follow through on the jump shot is perfect! :-)

Yep, that was 23 mos and he never played basketball!  Being from Indiana, was a bit sacrilegious!

You were supposed to loop the movie “Hoosiers” continuously until he “understood” what being from Indiana really means. Ha!

Thought I posted this yesterday so If duplicate I apologize. Lefty in 6th grade pitching middle school county championship game. 5 inning mercy rule shutout, and 8th grade parents went balistic because it was his first start of year. He was supposed to be an innings eater at the start of game, but they never got to him! Probably one of dads best baseball memories yet!

Here's mine - 9U pitcher and last year's 13U pitcher.  Love the determination in his 13U face.

Dalex.....I grew up down the road from you....if thats Center Grove, IN?  I’m from a little town called Edinburgh. I spent many Friday nights “cruising” the center grove/ Greenwood area. Went to prom with a center grove girl.

Baseball can be so damn cruel.

Hey Stayfocused!  It is CG, but i graduated from Indian Creek, 89'  May have played against you, and I'm SURE we know some of the same peeps.  I grew up in Nineveh, so small world, huh?!?

Yes small world!  I graduated in 87. Indian Creek was literally down the road from us!

Ten years goes by really fast.

Great idea for a thread.   So my oldest son started out a switch hitter when he was real young.  Then he went to left handed hitter only by 8-9 years old,  and all through high school.   When he got to college he wasn't allowed to touch a bat as a RHP.

BTW - The high school picture was a dinger over the right field fence.  Baseball dads never forget.   I took the picture and heard it land in the woods with everybody cheering.   ;-)

This is my knucklehead (college) son pitching in 40 degree weather in freezing rain with no sleeves.   It was one of the coldest games I've ever been to.   Yes, the Dartmouth first base coach is yawning in this picture.   He is cold and bored.    I told you baseball Dad's never forget!

MidAtlantic/Fenway - Great photos!

Fenway - The first base coach yawning in the photo is priceless.

Nice hops! 

Around his fourth birthday...

Note the red arrow.

Now, that’s awesome. 

I like how he is looking at his target. Hopefully it was not the kid with the blue cap.

Winner, winner - chicken dinner.

Absolutely, hilarious!

the kid with the blue cap looks very angry. Maybe someone should have told him the batting glove goes on the other hand.
