Our next door neighbor, Jacob Roberts, is a very good baseball player. In his last year of little league he hit 25 home runs. That team came very close to going to the little league world series. From there, he went directly to the high school team becoming the starting short stop as an eight grader. Last year his high school team went to the state tournament, where he had one of the competition’s highest batting averages as a freshman. This year he leads the team in batting and has several college scouts interested in him. We joined his family at a game recently, and the boys seemed very interested for a few minutes, then they wandered under the bleachers to play with their trains. Maybe before Jacob leaves for a major college or pro baseball career, he will teach our boys how to swing.
