I know that most times we come to these boards armed with strong personal opinions. I want to put those aside to make an announcement.

On April 1, 2005 at 2:51 a.m., we welcomed Francesco (Frank) into this world. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, he is quite a sight to behold. Mother and son are at the hospital and are expected home on Sunday, just in time for Opening Night for MLB.

My son Jack (our first) was born in September. He woke up every night in the 7th inning, and we watched the Yankees choke. We saw Ichiro get his hit, and witnessed the brawl in Detroit together.

Congrats!

If your son is going to be tall, have him throw lefty to pitch. If he will be medium height have him throw righty as he could still be a pitcher and you don't eliminate him from middle infield(which is where he may end up blossoming). A lot of people make the mistake of saying teach him to throw lefty no matter what, but they forget that his skills set may make him a middle infielder, thus eliminating any chance for that if he is a lefty. Remember, if he has a rocket arm he can still be a RH pitcher no problem.

Then if Prior and Wood are healthy this year, enjoy the Cubs first trip to the World Series.

Good advice, I would make a great middle infielder, but alas, am lefty!
