A 5-7 first baseman is a tough nut to sell to any coach, HS or College

I like kids who can swing the bat so I always look to find a spot for them

5-7 is extremely small for any level esp at 1B,
6-4 is normal size for college at 1B
you first need to play on the varsity before you think about college ball

6 ft 4 is the normal size in college ??? Get real pal--you are way off base

ive played varsity b4 i couldnt this year cuz i transfered. plus jv ball in california is better than varsity in most states.
5-7 isnt that small for college. most ss and outfielders are between 5-7 and 6-0
TR,
Players in the 6'4" range at first base in college is more than norm than not. Obvious exceptions for players under 6' if they are big time power hitters.

TR please try reading for a change 6-4 is normal size for a 1B in college NOT 5-7.
5-7 is 2B size and even that is small .
SDSU 1B 6-2 and 6-7
AVG height for 1B in CA college is 6-2 to 6-4
5-7 is 2B size and even that is small .
SDSU 1B 6-2 and 6-7

E-6
Look at what you posted--6-4 is normal size and then you say avergae height for CA 1B in college is 6-2 to 6-4
Did some random sampling of 16 box scores today from games played over the weekends
Size of 1B in the game
Kentucky 6-6
Clemson 6-3
Ole Miss 6-2
UCONN 6-1
Maryland 6-3
Notre Dame 6-2
St Johns 6-0
BC 6-3
South Fla 6-2
Arizona 6-2
Florida 6-1
NMSU 6-0
San Jose state 6-5
Tenn 6-3
Vanderbilt 6-3
Auburn 5-11
Far cry from average of 6-4
As for my reading lets not go there because you are not even in the same state with me much less the on the same page. I will say though that you have improved since you ceased the "cut and paste" nonsense

TR apparently math was not one of your better subjects. Try adding up all the 1B you listed and AVG is over 6-2. You proved my point. Only one was 5-11 and 6-6 being the tallest.
Napoleon complex ( sound like anyone ???)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex
In the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, Napoleon complex (or Napoleon syndrome) is a colloquial term used to describe a type of inferiority complex suffered by people who are short. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives.
Alfred Adler pioneered the psychological work on inferiority complexes, and used Napoléon Bonaparte as an example of someone who he thought was driven to extremes by a psychological need to compensate for what he saw as a handicap: his small stature (though in actuality, Napoleon's particular shortness is a myth; he was in fact slightly over 168 cm, or 5 ft 6 in). Typically people with this complex will compensate in many ways, reaching beyond their personal performance. A person with a Napoleon Complex may set pictures in their home to lower levels and make other such accommodations which will enable them to feel taller in their surroundings.
Compensatory behavior exhibited by those with a Napoleon complex may also include being overly aggressive or argumentative and a need to over-achieve, which all serve to give the person a sense of greater self worth.

Doesn't look original to me. Giving credit where the cut and paste came from...

By the way, sports in general has a complex or we wouldn't inflate the numbers. How tall is NBA MVP Nash? What does it say on the roster?

Andy May-- what does your post on the Napoleanic complex have to do with anything we are talking about 5-11/6-0 is not short--as usual you go your route of trying to prove yourself the best-- what you are best at is cutting and pasting and searching out inane newspaper articles
