He's not good. He's a soccer player. It's like their 5th game and he had yet to put the bat on a ball at all. Last night, he put a ball in play. I must've looked like Charles Dutton clapping for Rudy.

Oh, and he pitched an inning too. Never done that before. He gave up a bunch of runs but at least he didn't walk them in. Threw strikes and the other team just hit and the fielders made errors.

*Rudy Clap*

I imagine my dad experienced a similar reaction at my first ballet dance recital. - Lexillini April 23, 2026, 13:45:59

Good for him. The perseverance he'll learn there will pay off in his main sport for sure. - villain April 23, 2026, 13:34:42
- I hate travel sports, although maybe club isn’t stupid like travel? - WesMantooth April 23, 2026, 20:50:12
  - Travel/club soccer in the Chicago burbs is mostly just travel in name. - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 11:40:59
    - I think Indy is similar. Usually 2 practices a week and then a game on Saturday or Sunday - WesMantooth Yesterday, 12:34:34
      - We were just at the Indy tourney last week. Nice facility* - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 15:47:27
- His age is around $2000 which includes Fall season, Indoor, Spring Season, 1 "away" tournament, - OskeeWowWowDig April 23, 2026, 13:37:56
  - My 10 year old is about $1,200 for Fall, Indoor, Spring, Summer Training, and 4 Tournaments - villain April 23, 2026, 13:47:33

      - Was gonna ask what his off season was. June and July mostly off and then tryouts in mid August - WesMantooth April 23, 2026, 20:56:44
        
        Tryouts seem to get earlier and earlier as clubs compete for players. - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 11:37:56

it's about his son but it's also about him. and that's ok - AceFrehley April 23, 2026, 13:17:22
