I blew off an appointment Tuesday and hustled cross town to catch my son's high school game on Tuesday. I set up my chair just as the game was starting. He's a sophomore, who starts at third base and pitches for JV. He hit his first high school homerun, a line drive to left field over the 325 Ft sign. I was thrilled to have seen it. He's 4 for 6 with a triple this season, and has thrown 2 innings of hitless ball with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks.

My advice to him is to stay grounded because baseball has a cruel way of dealing with hot starts and overconfidence. .
