Ok we are new here, but, this is our Lefty this is a 13U AAA- pic we are now playing 14U Major. Lovin every minute of it.

How do I post a picture?

Hope I get this right. Copy your picture and then paste it by clicking on the 2nd box from the right. It is the box just the left of the one that looks like this. </> Good luck and I hope I'm not leading you astray. I think I put my picture in a website like photobucket or similar first so I could copy it.

Thanks. I've got a decent one I can post but need to scan it first.

Here's Lil'st papi in action:

Well, that didn't work. I used PhotoBucket and copied the url. Not sure what I did wrong.

Let's try this again.

Hey, I got it! Now, here's one of Lil'st Papi watching one of his older brother's games:

And here's medium papi hitting a home run in Omaha on my birthday last summer:

I am curious.
What is the reason for this thread and for posting pictures of your sons?

JMO, but I have been enjoying seeing the pictures of these boys - it reminds me of some fun times before the HS drama began. It's obvious that these parents are very proud of them, and I'm proud of mine. And it's nice to be in a thread where people aren't bashing each other or arguing semantics.

2Bmom, I think it is great that parents are proud of their sons. I am proud of my son too. I have a picture of him hitting in the minor leagues as my avatar.
But that doesn't explain, to me at least, why being proud of your son, at this age, translates into posting pictures of them on the HSBBW.

I guess Callaway will have to explain that. I just joined in 'cause I was bored at work and it was fun.

Keep the pictures coming. I enjoy them.

I didn't say it bothered me. I asked a questioned and said I am curious. Nothing more or less, just curious as to why.

Here's my take. We've shared some of our baseball experiences here with one another. We've become to some degree friends. I've found myself picturing in my mind the posters and their boys on occasion. It's just another way to strengthen the friendships we are making here. Chances are many of us will never meet so this is as close as we will get.


Besides, my kid is pretty good looking and I don't mind showing him off.

My original idea was to rip you for knocking us for putting pictures of our sons on here. Especially if you have your son as your avatar. If you don't like the idea, then just go away.

However, I'll assume your question is honest and tell you this, I love to watch my boys play and I love to look at pictures of them playing. Also, I love to see pictures of other boys playing. My fall team has a dad who's a professional photographer. I asked him to make me a CD of the pictures he takes and not just of my son. I think it's great fun to see someone else's perspective of the game.

Everyone likes to brag about their children. (well, maybe not Brittney Spears' mom). We all think our children are the smartest, best looking, best baseball players out there. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Can I go back to being mean (in a joking way) to infielddad? I'll bet you have a bumper sticker that says "My kid beat up your honor student"

All in good fun my friend.

Infielddad, I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your reference to "at this age" came across to me as just a bit hoity-toity. Seemed to me that you had a problem with it, too. But I'm glad you don't

bkecks, I'm with you! More pictures, please!
