I studied something that Mac and Spiegs might find funny with this guy, now somebody use the term "General" so I can make a salute joke...

There's a fine line between helping your kid with an activity he or she enjoys and becoming a mini-Marv Marinovich. I know a guy whose dad took him out to California from Park Ridge to play ball. The kid did make the big leagues so maybe it was worth it.


I am not trying to get my kid to the big leagues. I am much more worried about getting into a good college. That aside, I view baseball as one of the best ways to build a tight bond between me and my son. We go to games together, we watch games every night, and we play catch regularly. One benefit of travel ball is that we take road trips, to the Dells, Louisville, and Des Moines in the past year and spend time together. I have built a very close bond with my son because we both love baseball. Therefore, regardless with what happens, we both win.

I'll defer to folks on a lot of topics, but when it comes to baseball, it is one of my passions. Ok to disagree, but I am coming from an informed perspective.


One of the things that I miss the most now that my kids are adults, is everything that you mentioned...coaching them, encouraging them, traveling with them & the Father & Son time, both baseball & football. Those moments are precious. I would give anything to do it all over again.

Speaking of Baseball I drove past my old grade school the other day & the strikezone boxes that we spraypainted on the walls so we could play against the wall are still there, but no one was playing. I'm guessing not many play it anymore.

OUTED!


Looks like deliberate misdirection to me. The hipster band reference is a dead giveaway.


:lol: I'm not Grimace. In fact, I gave him the "Grimace" moniker. And calling Clutch a hipster band shows you don't know shit about music. They may attract hipsters now, unfortunately, but they aren't a hipster band. So, you're not even close on both points, chief.

So that's why you had kids? So they can change your diaper because you changed theirs? I'm good.[/quote]

No. I had kids for the free snow shoveling. The diaper changing is an unintended benefit.

In my neighborhood, there are a few backyard games. But basically, kids like playing video games. I feel like they will play video games for as long as their parents will let them.

A few minutes ago Mac was talking about something in the future & he said that he "wont be here".
