expected no less from you

I was a catcher and dabbled at first base in high school but catcher only in college.

You know I was a catcher by the fact I sound like a zombie when I get out of the bed in the morning.

When in Little League, I was the first outfielder off the bench. I have this vague recollection of being designated the First Reserve Outfield Alternate; and being especially valued for repeatedly trying to look back the runner on third from my position on the right field warning track.

When I graduated to the large field, that lessened the value of my "Lookback Move." After realizing that, I tried my hand at other sports.

Eventually, I was drafted unwittingly into the position of Baseball Dad. Once there, I tried to position myself as far down the first baseline as possible.

On one memorable occasion, that brought me into direct contact with a crusty travel ball coach from a foreign country:Connecticut. It was easy to see that he did what he did for the love of the game and the players.

prepster

give me a calL---860-645-9854



thanx

catcher....

LOL, CT as a foreign country! Thanks, Prepster, for making me laugh. Tom, should we argue that point or agree with it??


Myself, I played 1st chair in the violin section of the orchestra.

My only contact with sports in HS was: dated a pitcher, catcher, QB, wrestler, track star......


High school was lots of fun.

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SCHEDULE?

Dang, what did I do? Figured you wanted what we played in high school, since this is highschoolbaseballweb.com. I played football in high school.

I did play pre high school baseball, second base and some outfield. But wasnt that good. Once the pitchers started throwing something other then fastballs, I realized that I had pretty good hands and could catch a football better then most.

My, you dated a lot of jocks in HS

Pre-high school: catcher, pitcher, middle infield
Junior High: catcher, corner outfield, corner infield, second base
High School: catcher, a little bit of corner infield, some outfield, and mainly bullpen catcher

Wherever coach asked me to play.

Sounds familiar!

Bigger...I didn't know you knew me......that or you were a fan....lol

In HS I was a SS/P and dabbled in a bit of OF.

In college I played all CF. Thats why I shake my head every time I see a poster complaining about their son not always playing "their position".

Centerfield and leadoff batter most of my playing days.

I'm lefthanded. Once out of LL I was a pitcher/outfielder (mostly center) from 7th grade through college.

I never played an inning of organized baseball. Played a lot of hoops though. That's why it still amazes me when I watch a hitting coach notice a small defect in a swing that looks exactly like the previous 50 swings to me.

I got out of the way after I taught him how to turn his glove to make a backhand catch when he was 6 or 7. I throw a mean 55 mph BP from 40' also.

Pitcher and defensive sub in third and OF. Couldn't hit a lick. All the hitting went to my kid brother who has lots of his college hitting records at a D3.

I throw just as hard as I did in college. The ball just arrives later now.

Played L.L. first base, right field. Coaches sons were pitchers and I was left handed.

H.S. and college, football, linebacker. after college Rugby. 5 knee operations, 3 left shoulder operations 1 right shoulder operation, and left knee replacement.

Son looked at me and said I want to play baseball, worked for me!

Outfield

SS through HS
2B (Frosh & soph) and 3B in college

1st base.

Catcher, 1st, 2nd, SS, 3rd, RF, LF, and pitcher

Played a little of everything and spent a lot of time on the mound

I miss playing defense, a lot. And I miss catching. A groin tear during freshman football (that never was sufficiently treated) ended my chances at catching, which was always my best position. Still can't get into a catcher's squat after all these years!

Ss and 2b

Goalkeeper

CF, Right Wing (Ice Hockey)then eventually gave it all up for Wide Receiver.

HS - pitcher, OF, then settled in at first for senior year.

College - Pitcher, and occasional OF during collegiate summer ball when not on the bump.

I wish i could have played hockey in HS. we played unorganized and i loved it.

Girlfriend! Can't tell you how strange it is to sit in the same stands I used to watch my then boyfriend, now husband, and watch my son play HS ball! Hubby was CF, son is pitcher, 3rd base.

wherever they told me

Once I got to high school, I was told I had a bright future on the tennis team.

3B/RHP growing up...however, once I hit varsity and the coach saw me bat it became RHP ONLY through college.
