[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 572829, member: 6713"] I have a very good friend originally from Texas who played Little League against Nolan Ryan. He tells me that one of the things he is most proud of is that he stood in and didn't bail out, on his fastball at age 12. According to my buddy, Ryan when warming up was lucky to hit the backstop he was so wild. If we had this kind of parent in those days Nolan Ryan would not have been allowed to pitch. Sad but true. Football here in Colo is going the same way. 10 years ago we had 22 starters and 33 subs, playing football, none of the starters went both ways. This is in a school of 421 kids at the time. They ended up playing for the State Championship, against a school of 1100 kids, got their buts whipped but we had one heck of a program. My nephew is playing this year and he tells me there a total of 22 kids out for football. How's that for sad. of course the soccer team is loaded and all most of them want is the uniform. Ten years ago the only reason to have a soccer team was to grow a place kicker every couple years. [/QUOTE]
