What a swing that kid has already! And the presence of a kind, patient father in a boy's life is so very important.

I can't tell you how many memories that little video has brought back to me. In the 50s, my Father would come home from work and work with us for an hour or two, almost every day. Not just our family, but the whole neighborhood. To me, it was some of the best times of my life. This doesn't have anything to do with the subject, but my Father would have been 109 years old on November 25. I still miss him.
For you younger fellas baseball back in the day was it. And seeing that I had to ask me if that was AI especially since he is already a switch hitter. Making this about me, prior to puberty which was delayed compared to my age class I could hit anybody. What could have been, listening to my grandfather talk about Hornsby (his favorite) and Cobb playing pre-superball baseball. Anyway I hope that kid doesn't get burned out. When I was in the USMC it was almost a guarantee when we got a newb into the unit and he bragged about HS sports you might as well handed him a pack of cigs and a bottle of booze. As for the HS burnouts even odds he would turn to Joe Weider get jacked. So I hope it works for him.
