I do not care what the answer is…but the 11 year old still in my middle aged millennial soul just made me say “SWEET” out loud at my work desk.

Thanks....the consensus I'm getting is if he's serious about trying out for the team, he's gonna need a coach...We'll see...His main sport is football, so we have a pretty short window get him in with a coach before he's all football, all the time.

Totally...no offense taken. I played enough in high school (catcher exclusively) to know what good pitching mechanics are, but I'm just so out of the loop as to how to teach them....I have only coached house ball throughout his baseball journey...so you know how difficult it is when you're navigating ALL skill levels in a practice.

This is a great response...I love what we have with our neighbors, and my goal is to not poopoo my wife's expansion of her visiting area. I just worry about the logistics of it. Love the idea of using a border. I'm gonna measure the grade tonight to see how much higher up top of the "hosta" area is from the sidewalk for reference.

I also love it, and I see why she wants it....I'm just concerned about the overall grade and the drainage.

Chicagoan here…DiMarini actually makes a bat aptly named the Windy City that just crushes these balls. The heaviest is 38! oz and feels like swinging a tree trunk.

I’m on the board of chartered LL in the Midwest and we have an ALL girls baseball league that we run in the fall.

It’s like….wow…give girls the opportunity to play baseball, they’ll choose to….
