Some of you guys may know.  I'm a complete baseball junkie.  This is my favorite time of year. I'll watch, coach and  play baseball any chance I get.  

I've been coaching junior leagues for about 8 years.  From Tee ball, all the way through to high juniors.  

Please, I'm begging you.  If you have a son or daughter and you've signed them up for baseball, please take some time, go outside with them and teach them how to catch a ball and swing a bat.  

Even if you're not good at it yourself, just take them outside and show  them something.  It's getting so bad that kids can barely run, let alone catch or hit a baseball.  Can you imagine a 9 year old boy not even knowing how to run properly?  9 years old is  prime running years, those little bastards should be running everywhere they go.

It's getting close to summer, hide the PS3 and Wii, and make them go outside and play.
