[Leica] [OM] IMG: Catchers Were "Geared Up"

[Jim Nichols]

I agree with you.  These leagues should be to provide fun for the kids, 
as well as some knowledge of the game, in case the kid has natural 
ability and may eventually turn his talent into a college scholarship.  
We have one former local player who is pitching for Vanderbilt 
University this year.  If he behaves himself, he can earn one of the 
best educations in the South, whether he ever plays pro ball or not.

I remember a game where a father was yelling obscenities at his son for some poor decision—and we were talking about 8-year olds!! My son just played for fun, same as his soccer. For him the games were just a natural continuation of playing catch with me on warm summer afternoons. And that’s what it should be at that age.
