So YSSS's team played far, far, away the other night. Late game about an hour away, so we finished around 9:45pm. We've played teams up around this way for years, so SoulSlam knows some of the folks in the baseball circle.
Anyway, this team used to have two brothers (twins) playing with them. After we exchange lineups, I see only one brother is playing, batting 2nd, playing CF. He's a good player. I don't think much because some of these kids play with multiple teams, yadda, yadda.
After the game, the kids dad comes up to say hello while I'm packing the Tahoe of Baseball. We exchange pleasantries (they beat us so their parents were all giddy...it's not that hard to beat us though). He then tells me the other son is on the shelf with an injury...a torn UCL! Kid had Tommy John surgery! At 13! OMG!
So I'm not casting blame. But these kids only play baseball (to the best of my knowledge), play on a lot of teams, and undoubtedly, pitch a lot. So there could be smoke at this proverbial fire.
