SDBB, I too am curious:

How old was son #1 in first picture and how old is he now? How much did he weigh compared to now? He certainly looks beefy!

And very handsome. amazing transformation boys to men.

First photo... 6'4" 195 lbs.... 16 years old..

Second photo little over 6'5" 21 years old.. last I heard around 240 lbs... a consistent conditioning program and maturing body can transform those tall lanky kids into impressive young men....

Randy, is that Allan at the Robin-Sanford wedding? He looks great. Junior was happy to see him a few weeks ago.

Well I'm only a couple years late to this thread and I AM a son rather than identifying a son, but what the heck.

JPontiac, do post a picture of yourself, we need to see if you have the "baseball look".

I'll have to remind my mom not to pay for team pictures next year. That's what I get playing on a team where all my teammates flash me as I'm getting my picture taken.

Yep, JPontiac has that baseball look! Good pictures, I didn't expect them so fast.

Do you all agree with Pop up?

JPontiac,

I love your photos! You definitely look like a player!

Haha, I'm flattered but I admit it feels a little funny being judged for my looks on here.

JPontiac, you're one of the HSBBW family now. Make sure to keep us posted on your up coming HS season and future college career. We appreciate your well written posts. So many young guys are so used to texting its refreshing to be able listen to such a well written ballplayer. I would be curious as to your SAT writing score, bet it would high.

Great photos of the players. I don't have many photos stored on my computer but here is a You Tube of my son after a T.V. news broadcast. He is Rusty Shellhorn.

Bum, Jr.

Wow Bum, Great clip on a fine looking young man! It was good to hear another myth about player size put to rest...at least for a bit. Our son is also around 5'10" as a Junior in high school. Unsure if he'll get any taller, but he is a hard nosed player who is very capable and loves the game!

Thanks for sharing!!

Bum, great clip on JR. I can see why WSU wants him, a lefty too! After picking up that Olympia kid this year they should dominate in pitching.

I take it he's already at Washington State? Congrats!

Thanks. He's on campus right now. kbat2012, Kenmore and Spokane are 280 miles apart! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Stay safe.
