What goes through the mind of my six-year-old son when he starts playing baseball? Its 2004, and Anthony is moving up to play baseball with the bigger kids. Hes excited to play because hes only six years old, almost seven, and hes playing with the eight-year-old kids. Anthony is also excited because his dad is also going to coach his team. His dad is a first-time coach as well. Anthony thinks he can play any position he wants, but he doesnt know what he is in for!
