This is so much fun...I love seeing all these photos in one place! What handsome sons you all have!
Here's my son Joe almost 6 years ago at his only showcase, at which he met Holden Caulfield's son:
And I think these are from his last season of college ball:
And with another one of my favorite guys:

Here is a double play ball which my son started. I like the intensity shown in the play by both players.
Here is one from last year's NCAA regionals against Alabama. The player with the dirty jersey just scored from first base on a faulty pick-off attempt that did not get that far past the first baseman. He is almost completely deaf and one of the best players in the country as evidenced by his selection to TEAM USA. #7 was a Johnny Bench award finalist along with Buster Posey and Jason Castro. He was drafted in the 5th round by the Mets. My son is off to the right and it is a good example of the intensity he has for the game. An interesting thing about this photo is how baggy their pants are. They were all down about 10-20 lbs at that late point in the season.

In the spirit of sharing, here is my son, first at age 15 and the second during his sophomore year in college. I would have posted a PG photo, but he never attended a PG event.
5-years later, an inch taller - 35lbs of muscle and a little fuzzier around the face.
ILVBB- seeing your son in the Starmakers uni made me look twice. He looked just like my son who also wore that same uniform for 2 years. Amazing how they mature. Another handsome kid.

jmepop (and anyone else having problems posting photos),
I think the problem you are having with posting your pictures has something to do with the AOL site where they are located. I had a similar problem trying to post my daughter's pictures from there. The properties that you are using refer to the page that contains the photo, but not the photo itself. There might not be a way to link directly to the photo.
I use Webshots.com for no particular reason other than it was used by another poster here when I started. Some are using Photobucket.com, imageshack.com, or the HSBBW Photo Gallery where they have posted pictures. Some are also linking to their son's college or other team's web page.
Have fun!

I fixed your links on the previous page, though I'm not sure what was wrong earlier.
Any other members,
If you have difficulty posting a photo, feel free to e-mail me at hsbaseballweb@comcast.net. Either e-mail your photos to me if they are not already on the Web, or make your post here with an attempt to link to the photo, and then e-mail me if the link did not work.
I love seeing all of your sons! This is lots of fun.
Julie
