OtisG: Son Brings Back LL Memories

On Facebook (and printed here with his permission), Otis G writes about his Little League experience: "My personal little league memories consist of running to the wrong base, almost getting knocked out by a pitching machine, and peeing my pants in the outfield. (Son) Bailey not only loves playing baseball, he's good at it. It makes me so proud to see him have the confidence I never did."

Question: Did you have a good experience playing youth sports -- Little League, soccer, flag football? Or do the peeing-my-pants incidents crowd out successes? Are your kids better athletes than you were?
