    Admin.,My son was your knuckle headed knuckleballer this past all-star season.Keep in mind Kirby Bellow hit under 200 avg. his fresh. season.I also know your son was a hoss with tremendous power.I know seeing is believing.Weisbrod will connect at some point this season and silence all the doubters and haters.Try to catch one of his B.P. sessions and you will see what I mean.I know because I was once a doubter!

    I think the objective here is to show up and play the game the right way. Know your role. Nederland has been pretty successful from what I remember. They have 3 year lettermen and D1 players that work their behinds off (in multiple sports too). They do not need to be [b]taught[/b], they need to be [b]observed[/b].

    I am willing to bet that most (if not all) of the people on here will acknowledge talent. What most of us do not like is being told in advance how much we should be in "awe" of someones talent. If anyone, for one second thinks that any of us do not want talented players on our teams, you are sadly mistaken.

    I will never shy away from competition. It makes the TEAM better. I do shy away from arrogance. It trends to do just the opposite.

    My advice to you is to stop watching BP. [color=red]Go and see what happens when the fans are long gone, when no one is in the stands.[/color] [color=red]Go and see who's taking the extra infield, shagging some extra fly balls with his teammates.[/color] That's the kid I want to watch!

    I couldn't agree more...THAT'S when you'll see the heart of a true player, is when no one else is looking! Wish more coaches watched at that time too!!  :( Obviously everyone wants talented players/teammates on a team. What's hard to stomach is the praise of anyone that has a bad attitude, disrespects coaches/teammates/bosses and has terrible work ethic. You see most of [i]that[/i] off of wherever you practice/play/work.

    Yikes...although, I'd be willing to bet that ALL the schools have athletes in more than one sport and nothing is being done about it!! Don't you all remember? Rules are meant to be broken?! At least that's what is obviously being taught our children!  >:(  :(
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I should rephrase this...if indeed this rules means what it states (?), than most schools would be in violation.  I DO have a hard time believing that this major rule would be completely disregarded by so many coaches. There's got to be some sort of loophole.

    First of all no newbie has made Varsity yet, [b]they[/b] may be given the chance but nothing is determined until after the scrimmages. [b]They[/b] may think they made Varsity allready, but in reality [b]they[/b] haven't and the Varsity Team will be very hard to make. What [b]they[/b] need to do is get to work and quit running [b]their[/b] mouth or someone on a Varsity squad will humble [b]them[/b].
    From personal experience it's best to come on a Varsity squad with ears open and mouth shut, player and parent. Respect the players above you and learn from them, respect the parents that have been there and learn from them.
    I've been to my share of baseball games and never has a parent, player, coach, fan ever measured a homerun. That is just messed up. The W is what counts.
    84 MPH U14 Select-88 MPH Varsity-92 MPH Elite Varsity, big difference, if that swing is long forget it.
    Spoonbill I'm kinda of worried he may be sleeping with the awards and wearing the jersey as a nite-nite. Has the photo on the counter? Hmmm....

    Oh I almost forgot, I do have one of Weisbrod's uniforms, 3 baseballs signed and misc photos of him playing for the Bandito's at my shop as we speak. I am getting ready to shadowbox same for his dad. Quite impressive. two of the baseballs are marked as over 400 ft. home runs. If you care to stop by PM me and I will be glad to show you his trophies.
