My son is starting his varsity high school career tomorrow. He's a right handed pitcher starting his first varsity game tomorrow afternoon. He had a wonderful JV career and now it's the big leagues. He has several colleges looking at him so this has got to be his year to shine.

Wish him luck for a great first game, as well as a great season.
Thanks,
-Jean

Good luck, I bet he'll do great!

Your guys are doing better than our team, they've had to practice at a batting cage, there's stilll snow on the ground!

Here's hoping for lots of KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

<at least I think that K is what the symbol is for a strike out I am so baseball illiterate>

Jean....Good Luck to your son, and to you, too!!!

Mt son was a pitcher, and played ball straight through college. He graduated JHU, in 2006. I would get so nervous, when he was pitching, that I couldn't watch the game.

I would roam around the ball park, peeking every now and again, until he was taken out. Oh yeah, I would also listen for cheering. Usually, if I heard a lot of cheering, that meant that my son gave up a hit.

Hope your son has a successful outing and season!!! to "start" is a great accomplishment in itself. Hope to see him in the BIG LEAGUES in a couple of years. Keep it up, champ!

OK. Good Luck!

Boy,that brings back memories. I (the righthander) and two lefties were our pitching rotation for three years (we started as sophomores). When I didn't pitch I played left field. The lefties only pitched. I really loved baseball, but got my comeuppance when I got to Moo U.

For whatever reason I still play a lot of baseball and football at night, in my dreams. They are very real and I wake up exhausted.

Wishing you the best.

Well here it is, he took his first varsity win. Pitched 5 innings, gave up 1 run, had 7 Ks, and walked 3.

Our team won 4 - 1.

Thanks for all your wishes. Now he can really relax since the first game is behind him.

Sounds wonderful so hopefully now one of the colleges will make him a serious offer one day.

Wow, it's hard to believe the HS season is now over, it went so fast. My son did wonderful he finished the season with 7 wins, 0 losses, 1 save, 60 Ks, with a 1.97 era, pitching in 49 2/3 innings, he batted .353. He made "1st team All Conference", school's "2007 Most Outstanding Player" and still waiting to see what he made in the county.

Thanks everyone for your wishes on a great season.
