I recall innocent childhood times swinging my Little League bat at the gentle throws that my coach/dad pitched to me. My dad sponsored our team and was an assistant coach. I was confident I would be a star. There was just one small glitch. My brother, younger by four years and shorter by six inches, could hit the ball closer to the outfield fence and could field a ground ball like a miniature pro. He knew I could outrun him–but this was baseball, not track. My daddy knew how badly I wanted to out-perform my kid-brother, so he practiced with me in our backyard. And while that should have given me just the extra training I needed to compete with my brother’s natural athleticism, he, unfortunately, showed up at every practice, too. He caught the grounders that I missed and relished throwing me out when he fielded for Daddy and me. I was the one needing the practice but little brother was the one that benefitted the most. But, despite our sibling rivalry, those times make for some of my fondest memories. Perhaps this will be the summer that you, too, can make memories around the baseball park or with other special family outings. Don’t waste a moment. Time flies, for sure. Invest some quality time in a young person. Great memories are practically guaranteed. Thank you for picking up this month’s issue of Hometown Brandon Magazine.
