Here is a good Nomar story. Nomar is college friends with the guy who runs Foxboro's Little League program, in which my friend's son, Jack, plays. Nomar went to a game the last time he was in town. After the game, Jack went up to introduce himself to Nomar, who was very gracious. Jack told Nomar that he "cried for days after he was traded.". Nomar responded, "so did I, Jack, so did I."

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.
