Kids in the DR make it to the big leagues hitting bottle caps with broomsticks

Weird thing to say when you’re too much of a wimp to say no to a 9 year old.

Sliding isn’t allowed???? I’d find a new league to play in…

But, he’s 9- let him have one. Or make him do chores, etc. to earn the money.

I think they look dumb as well, but maybe getting “swagged up” is what motivates him.

Think of all the dumb looks you wore when you were a kid…

Lighten up! I would, however, have a talk about being a follower or leader… if he just wants bc everyone else has.

I think they are pretty goofy too. I played baseball until I was 18 and don't really remember finger injuries from sliding being a big problem.

Man, we'd have all worn Michelin man suits skateboarding back in the day if it was 2025

Best I can tell these kids don’t give a crap what anyone thinks about what they use or wear. Much ado about nothing.

Did he drive himself to Academy after earning money from his job to buy one? Or did you buy him something you’re adamantly against?

They should be outlawed. So should all the other pieces of armor batters are wearing these days.

But if you really want to wear an elbow pad you shouldn’t get first base just for leaving your elbow out over the plate. You should have to earn that HBP.

Your son is 9? And you are asking this? How did you ever get a dick inside a girl to procreate? That's the better question.
