Let me see. You're an 8 year old who can form complex sentences, has learned the subtle art of innuendo, and is able to rhyme? Yeah, right.

Also, just because you father supposedly made it big, doesn't mean he understand the techniques to teach youngsters. Your logic is fatally flawed. Your logic would then claim it is better to teaching basketball to young kids with a 10' hoop, or soccer with a number 5 ball - it doesn't work.

Oh, and btw, no reason for you to respond either, because I want the last word. Whoever you are, you're scum.

Just a 6 year old kid, whose Dad is God.

Joe, you're only 99.999% right. For the 1 out of 100,000 that make it to the big leagues, learning improper technique will have to be relearned. Big deal. But for the other 99,999 improving their confidence thru sports is a great thing. If it were ever statistically studied, you'd win hands down.

Also, we have to remember that homerun hitters are a potent component. At some age, unknown to me, it would be time to switch styles.
