My son who is a senior in HS and is playing his last year of baseball hit his first home run Tuesday night. It was a loss for the game but a big win because this was one thing that I'd hope he'd accomplish.

Disregard my wife yelling in the background....

Great accomplishment. And I can't tell you how satisfying it is to see a baseball player actually act like an actual baseball player and not like a clown running halfway down the line with the bat, flipping it 10' in the air while making all kinds of stupid gestures rounding the bases.

Truth....

I've always told him to act like he's done it before.... if that makes sense.

Absolutely. The Barry Sanders motto.

Not overly-celebrating something is the biggest psychological flex you can do against the opposing team. "Yeah, we scored. No big deal. We do it all the time."

Congrats, his base trotting was fine, looks like he's been there before.

Nice home run. When will you teach me how to hit a curveball?

I've been videoing his batting for several years now for posterity sake and we have a lot of pictures of our daughter during her dance days too.

He's hit (as I remember) 5 home runs on the short fields, 200 - 250' but this was his first on a normal size field.

You'd have to ask him that!
