Show him who Pop is! ;) My sons finally beat me playing 2 on 1 last year. They give it to me every chance they get when they see me. Don’t take it easy on him on the court. Show him who Pop is! ;)

My old man used to tell me,"Don't be like me, be better than me." Q already tells me he's going to be better than me in basketball so he's off to a good start :-) Joe Biden had a great quote after his son introduced him last night he said (and I’m paraphrasing) “You know you’ve done your job as a parent when your children turn out better than you.”

Step out of the batter's box people just long enough to see what pitch is coming. Just like TBR says, encourage your children. Make them aim higher even if they are the best. It's not about you.

I did not realize this was a Black kid they were referring to. I totally agree with the author; this is the continuation of the "wussification" of America's kids. I hope that young man keeps his head up high. I'm surprised no team in MLB has signed him to a minor league contract yet! :-) I actually heard about this on the Mike & Mike show yesterday morning on my way to work.

Where did you hear of this kid? Damn he resembles Gaston a little bit. I think it's the parents responsibility to find a team that will play their son. It's really messed up if there aren't any leagues besides the New Haven one. I would love to coach Jericho. I hope he's pitching every other day to develop what is obvious talent. There are Jerichos all over the place. When we as men get our stuff together and invest in our children, these stories won't happen...or at least not as much. Thanks for this story Ron…seriously.
