There's an easy drill to cure them of it once and for all. I took my son to a pro instructor and he and I had it gone for good in 4 weeks, working through a soft toss drill. Amazing transformation.

A bit off topic but related -- we took a self defense inside-the-home pistol class recently, and were told it takes most people at least 3000 repetitions to develop muscle memory

mooty - loved your story of your Mr. Mom adventures with your kids, food and Mango. Sounded like a great day!

Came back too late from my OUS trip today, had planned to come by to see bayareandy and others at Sonoma. Those Medellin girls tired me out and I just crashed when got home. Sounds like I missed an interesting day.

Regarding Mango... signal yellow with red brakes and black wheels is gorgeous. No im not wiring funds, just commenting.

The only thing that could have made this story better is more RS's and bacon waffles

Angelos is the best - it's the only reason I drive race cars at Sonoma - lunch there plus jerky done

for some baseball.

My 12 yr old. First scrimmage of the season. Heading to AZ in about three weeks.

Agree re eliminating bat drag.

Seriously, cherish those t-ball moments in their little elastic waist baseball pants. Someday you'll look back on those photos with your boy and recount some special memories.

More seriously, if your son continues to play ball, get him with someone who knows how to hit early, so he can learn to keep his hands high and go straight to the ball. 99% of the kids in little league drop the hands and drag the bat through the zone. The kids who learn early to keep the hands up and on top of the ball are wayyyy better hitters and have a lot more fun with the game.

Makes sense, my son easily hit 3-5000 ***** during that month. Of course, a year later he quit the game to focus on hockey. Kids.

Saw the title and figured something fishy was going on. Good read!
