No pics? Tell us what happened. Your stories are always worth a read.

continuation
The sage continues. The Kid, having surpassed the Old Medic's ability to coach him, has transferred his prowess to The Home of Baseball, the USA. He is now a Dixie Boy's League "A". He has a hitting coach and is working hard. He was picked in the top five at a 41 man tryout.

Apparently the freakin' game is universal.

He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?

And now he made his school team today. Two weeks of tryouts and conditioning and he got the word today. Going up against football plays that have had access to the weight room since school started. And we have a sandbag, a pull up bar and two sets of dumbells.

He finished in the top 5 in all the runs and smoked the rest of it. They started with 51 and ended with 22.

He is now a Wildcat.

A Milestone in the History of Sports
Congrats to the new Wildcat and Congrats Dad. Be proud of him.
Nothing wrong with sandbags, pull up bars and a few dumbells. I remember the excitement of those days (a little less as each year passes). Some of my best childhood memories involve sports and my teammates.
Good on him for putting in the work making the team.

Sometimes "simple" is better.

Congrats to The Kid!
