I've got to brag a little bit, and I didn't know where to put this.....................so I'll put it here.
My youngest son is a freshman in high school and is the starting second baseman on the "reserve" baseball team. The "reserve" team is made of freshman and a few sophomores. Anyways, they played Lincoln Southeast high school on Saturday. He was 2 for 4 with............................two homeruns. His first homer was an inside-the-parker that caromed off the right-centerfield wall. His second one was a bomb over the left-center wall. His first homeruns ever.
Not bad for a 5'10" kid who weighs 150 lbs. soaking wet.
He's going to be a playa.
It's so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days.
That is cool news. That will certainly open the coaches eyes.
Good on you as the pops.
My first h.s. HR was also an inside the park job as a freshman that went off the RCF wall. I was also one of those kids who was 5'10 or so at the time who weighed in at a whopping 145 lb's wet. But I routinely tested throughout my h.s. athletic career as the pound for pound strongest kid in my class (of those tested in athletics anyway). I left h.s. at 5'11.5" and 168 lb's. For some sick reason, I'm shrinking in height already at almost 38 years old and I am able to pack on the pounds like no other. Man life is cruel sometimes.
I imagine if your kid keeps up with his dad given talents, he too should prosper very well on the ballfield(s) (he does play basketball right?) and in life.

I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.
