I was telling one of my sons that the only good thing about March Madness is that means baseball is only a week or so away. The Atlanta Braves is America's Team and mine also.

My grandson played on a traveling team out of Columbus Ga. last year as a 13 year old. They played mostly in Ga FL and AL but played against teams from every where. They played in a World Series in Panama City FL and finished 6 out of 60 teams. The team that put them out and won the championship they had beat earlier in another tournament. Some of his feats were a near perfect game only hitting a batter that prevented it. He followed that up with a 1 hitter and a 2 hitter. Three games he gave up 3 hits. He didn't lose a game all season until the last tournament and was leading 4-0 after four innings and a rain storm came up and after over an hour wait he went back to the mound and pitched one more inning of shutout ball but the next inning he had lost the zip on the fast ball and he ended up losing the game. Still I was so proud of him.
The high school coach here told us that he was going to pitch him as a 9th grader next year on the high school team. The high school here won the State Championship last year. Of course he said that he would only pitch him against weak teams but who knows. All of the other high school teams here have tried to talk his dad in to transferring to their schools. He pitched last night in the first game of this season and struck out 8 in 4 innings and only pitched 4 innings. He did hit a batter and gave up one bloop hit to center.

Here he is showing the form that has all of us wondering could he make it to the pros.

Edited to say a good paw paw bragging on you is a must to make it to the majors. lol
Sorry everyone if you found this to be boring. I would love to hear of others doing good.
