i don\'t know, i guess i am not into baseball or softball or whatever you guys called it. But i guess its one of many ways to bring a child self esteem, confidences, and social life up especially at your son\'s age.
I guess my childhood life where a teacher that teach literature and also a baseball coach who was unjustly mean to me had dirty the image i have about baseball or softball players/coach, etc. I wasn\'t into it to say the least. Not that all baseball players are bad people, just that not all sports/athletic people are nice.
I remember one time I was walking in the blacktop alone with no friends, a guy targeted me and he threw football right into my head. If I didn\'t notice and dodge on time, I will get hit. I remember the whole team was disappointed as i heard them saying "ugh..."
Again, just my opinion based on my experience....*me runs and dodges tomatoes at the same time*
