The Louisville Slugger Files

As you might have guessed by the name of my blog and the picture that was selected, that's right, I live in Louisville, KY.

The home of the Louisville slugger museum, and the Minor League franchise, the Louisville Bats.

Although, I am relatively new at being a baseball fan, since I started playing catch with my son Jer (Jeremiah), and all the enthusiasm that a 12 yr old displays...It has infected me quite tremendously.

Therefore, I am grateful to my son ,and my other kids Moshe, Levi, Yishai, and Miriam ( under the age of 12 yrs) who have jumped on our baseball bandwagon. As a result, we have embraced the sport of baseball with a tremendous passion.I wonder if others families experience the same feelings? Anyway, we have, and we read about it; play catch, watch movies, collect baseball cards, buy merchandise and even dream about it.

My son Jer is an aficionado who is now playing baseball at his school and is learning how to hit homers and field ground balls for the first time. To say that I am proud of him is an understatement. I have my work cut out for me as I learn to coach him by batting fly balls, grounders and pitching to him. Its pretty cool. For one, it is like reliving my youth again and I really enjoy my sons progression in his skills. Most of all, I enjoy the we have something in common that we are both passionate about, that to me is the icing on the proverbial cake.
