Re: Family Bragging Thread
awesome stuff Sigh.
Not to that level, but my nephew is 3 sport HS varsity starter as a sophmore (soccer basketball baseball with baseball his #1) I like that he does well in more than 1 sport in this age of select sports. Recently he iced sectional soccer championship with winning PK. Also a good grounded kid.
But Damn that he is a Cub fan. Damn. Maybe Cardinals will sign him someday.

My 8 year old son has yet to strike out in four years of baseball.
He has, however, build piles of infield dirt, picked dandelions, and stared towards the outfield during a pitch when playing defense.

My 4 year old grandson got invited to play in his T-ball league futures game (I guess there is really such a thing).
