Thanks Paul...I wish you knew too!

I am pretty lucky, my 8 year old son lives, eats, dreams baseball. I have 3 older daughters so this is a long time in coming for me on the baseball realm and I cherish every aspect of it. My son at 8 has seen thousands of girls Fastpitch games with my middle daughter on Team USA, but I need him to understand real pitching is overhand and it is OK to lead off, haha...With the movie coming out and the fact Jackie is always discussed at school, he loves him and the reprints he has in his own collection aren't good enough. He even used my 54 Topps Jackie and Doby cards for a project at school...the kids LOVED the cards, it was pretty cool. I feel pretty lucky...hopefully your son starts to get the bug!
