Made it to 6yr old practice tonight. “Step at me. Lower elbow. Raise elbow. Bend legs. Widen out. Swing up. Swing down”. How about they just grab it by the skinny end and knock the hell out of it with the big end. They will learn to hit. They will also learn to tie their shoes.

Yes he does!.
This is Jack Penney. He plays 3B for Notre Dame. He hits the ball very, very hard and doesn't chase. He is 2024 draft-eligible. You should remember Jack Penney.

It’s a beautiful game.
Try not to cry as you watch a young Clayton Kershaw fan tell the story of his grandfather, who died of brain cancer and how he always wanted to meet the #Dodgers ace. I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😢😭 #AllStarGame #AlwaysLA
