[quote=Anonymous]My son is 8 and this spring will be his fourth spring playing. All of the kids on his team last year had played multiple seasons except for one boy who was 10 and it was his first season. He was non-athletic and all of his at-bats were painful. We (parents and players) shouted encouragements and cheered loudly when he would get a hit, but he struck out 90% of the time and he was just so dejected by the end of the season that I felt really bad for him. I think it was extra-upsetting because he knew that he was older than all of the other boys. How do you think your son will react if he is the [obvious] worst player on the team? If he would be fine with that, then sign him up. Also, there's really not a lot of physical activity in baseball. Yes, they run the bases, but it's not intense cardiovascular work. If you're looking for cardio work, look at lacrosse, soccer or track for the spring.[/quote]
