Congratulations to your son (and you)! I've been a volunteer little league coach for 5 seasons and let me tell you, kids like your son, who truly love the game, are an absolute joy to be around, and make the game more fun for the other kids, the parents, and of course, us coaches.
(Far too often, the kids are there because their dads push them into it, making them resent both their dad and the game itself.)
Unfortunately, due to a change in jobs, I am unable to coach this year
, but your post reminded me of why I did it in the first place.
Thanks for sharing, and have fun out there!
Jim
