I had planned on writing a post dealing with player development today. But the tragic and heartbreaking news of the death of AC’s son has caused my mind to wander in so many different directions and has brought back a flood of memories of my introduction to baseball and how baseball was a language that I and my sons regularly spoke and still do to this day. Today I truly wish that I had the writing skills of Jim Murray, John Gresham or Jon Weisman. I have so many thoughts to share and I yearn to be able to articulate them for you in a meaningful way.
