nobody likes a showoff
I watched these 7-8yr old tryouts, and let me tell you - they're throwing curves and hitting pop-off doubles and it is legit!
pop-off doubles
bc they're 2 feet shorter than the men, but the hoop is the same height. different physics = different shot.
There is a big jump from that to the 7/8 year old machine pitch allstar teams. They go from not catching popups to gunning batters out from deep at shortstop. Rec ball still has a lot of Bad News Bears, but the decent challenge teams generally make all of the routine plays and some pretty impressive ones.

It's going to be fascinating to see the athletes that could out of this generation of girls who are actually encouraged to participate in sports by moms who are in the first generation of girls who were actively encouraged to play sports.
There was an anniversary party at my gym and some people brought their kids. One girl who was in my son's 2nd grade class last year sat down on the rower and just started rowing. And just kept rowing. "Mommy, I'm at 1000! Mommy, I'm at 2000. Mommy, I'm at 3000." After 34 minutes, she rowed 5100 meters. In a dress and sandals. With about a dozen people looking on.
Sounds like a thrilling party. Did everyone stand around and watch paint dry afterwards?
Yea but this Borges anthology is a good poolside read
Chic did E do tee ball with SRA at age 4? I guess they start with coach pitch now for 4 year olds? They only break out the tee if you fail to hit like 6 pitches. Seems odd but maybe it's better in the long run.
What is E's real name ? Why not just say "son" ?
Because I have 2 sons?
You have 3.
Not sure if this is a dig at my husband, my daughter, or me?
