Sorry, but I have to boast. My oldest son, in this first league game last night, threw a complete game (6 inn.) no hitter, striking out 18 (that's everyone). He did walk three, but hey, he's 12.

Don't let the Cubs sign him up. That's a sure way to screw up his arm.

Awesome
I would be bragging like no other if I was your kid and you.
I even talked shit after I placed 2nd at my first wrestling meet, though not is much as when I placed in two weight classes at one meet my Freshman year.

No. Fastball (two- and four-seam) and change-up.

Also Don't let him attend Southeast Missouri State on a Baseball scholarship, they made a kid throw 193 pitches in a win over Missouri last week.

MC, you are sitting on a gold mine, ESPECIALLY if he's a lefty! Just make sure he signs with either the Astros or Rangers. Do NOT accept any offers from Big Stein, no matter how lucrative!!!

np: The Band - "Yazoo Street Scandal"

Good for you. Throwing that shit too young is the road to ruin.

And congrats to you and your boy.

By the way, I was at the O's game last night (15-1 drubbing, oh yeah!), and my father and I were wondering.

Where is Ben McDonald these days?
