A few days ago I posted that "Today is the day!" to signify the start of high school baseball tryouts at my son’s school. Well tomorrow is really the day as that is when the cuts are posted. To tell you the truth this High School baseball tryout process is definitely harder on old dad than it is on Jr. I hope that doesn't mean I am one of those dads who are trying to live vicariously through their son. But I just know how much making the team means to my son. Not being a physically gifted athlete he has worked very hard the last several years with the goal of making it to the next level which at this point is making the freshmen team. The first week of tryouts was filled with lots of running and drills and my son has given it his all but not being an impressive physical specimen I don't think he has stood out. While I would never admit it to my son this process has made me extremely nervous knowing how much he will be crushed if he doesn't make the team. Well last night was the first scrimmage and my son was called on to pitch and he did a pretty good job actually pitching a no hitter even if it was against only seven batters. So tomorrow is the day and whether my son makes the team or not I know he has given it his all and I can be proud of that.
