My son learned that at about 5 or 6 years old. I explained it well. He understood. Like him for his field performance, but that doesn't mean they're a good or bad person, a nice or mean person, a smart or stupid person. Just means they can hit, catch, and throw.
Oh, and I'm now really pissed off because my TV jumped itself to the game. Ahhhhhh, I can't help it. But I am NOT staying up. ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu Oct 08 17:49:52 2009 Subject: RE: Manny Actually, I think it is OK for your kids to pick favorite players. You just need to help them realize that while it is ok to love them on the field, they are not always worthy of devotion as you say. It's actually a pretty good life lesson. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Salemi Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Manny I just want my kid(s) to like baseball. I hope the eldest never picks a favorite player because none are worthy his devotion.
