The Schankman Cometh

How about mother and son? I use to coach my sons little league softball team. He started playing when he was 5 years old. He couldn't catch and he couldn't hit, but when I was coach everyone played in every game. We practiced everyday after summer camp, and played on Saturday mornings in Forest park. On the final game of the season. My son got up to bat. Everyone was rooting him on, even though he had never hit the ball. They pitched the first pitch and it was a strike.The second the same. By this time the whole softball league on both teams were rooting him on. The pitch came and he swung the bat, and actually made connection with the ball. He ran straight for third base. We were all screaming run to first. The coach at third base took him by the hand and ran the bases with him. They played it off as if they couldn't get him out. I was so proud of that team that year, as they allowed us to win the Championships, when they helped my son with his first infield home run.
What a year that was.

I was thinking the same thing Cuteypops. Why does it have to be father/son, why not any combination of parent/child?

The Cardinal family knows no gender bias, lol.

This doesnt have any thing to do with father son relationship and baseball. But I didnt know where else to post this.

and it does have to do with baseball.

I saw your story this morning on the professor at SLU who is studying Cardinal fan behavior.

I couldnt believe you did this story!!
I have been trying to get ahold of someone in the media to help make my study public, just because I think it would be of great interest to the populous fans of Cardinal Nation.

I am a senior at UMSL majoring in anthropology and for my senior thesis I spent the last nine months studying cardinal fan behavior and sports spectatorship of Cardinal Fans at Busch Stadium and Pujols 5 Westport Grill. I have also handed out surveys and conducted interviews with Cardinal fans all over the United States.
