I have been gone for too long and I miss this place and all the wonderful friends I have met online. I have been lurking from time to time but usually don't have much that is constructive to add to the discussions.
None the less, I do like following the sons of the posters and realize that there are so many that have been drafted since I tried to keep track back in 2007, 2008, and 2009 (down the page a ways). I remember trying to make a list in 2010 but there seemed to be more friends of posters than their sons getting drafted and I couldn't keep up. By 2011 I was busier than I had been with work and was chasing my son around the Carolina League.
I always loved reading the new additions to the Please Identify Your Son thread and checked in to the hard-to-find list of posters and sons that seemed like it went back to the first days of HSBBW. Please let me know if that page made it to the new website during the conversion. In the latter's apparent absence, I would like to propose a replacement for those whose sons have Gone Pro. A similar thread for those who have gone on to play College Ball would be appreciated.
I think posting a link to the MiLB or MLB page that features your son would be great. I also love seeing photos and baseball cards featuring the sons of HSBBW.
Here is what I have regarding my son, Tim Melville.
He was drafted out of high school in 2008 by the Kansas City Royals and is currently playing AA ball for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals in the Texas League.
I like this card. It is from a couple of years ago. It is still awesome to see our last name on a uni.
