Laub Sports

This year James struggled, like a good portion of the kids, with paying attention to baseball. It is sort of a slow game, if you have problems concentrating.

We bought one of those things you throw baseballs against and it bounces the balls back at you, and a hitting tee. I practiced off and on, but I don't want to push it too much, and I'm sort of lazy.

So far James has done:
  • 1 season of baseball.
  • 2 intro to basketball
  • and 1 rock climbing into type course. 
  • 2 or 3 learn to swim courses
I have posted all the photos from my sports career, but I know I will update this page with many more photos as the kids do more sports...
James at bat. He bats both left and right handed. Weird. 
Crossing home plate
After the game the players give high-five to the kids, and let the kids run the bases. 
Getting James excited about baseball by taking him to a Chicago Kane County Cougars game. 


Cotton breathes, you see, it's much softer. Imagine playing games and your team is five degrees cooler than the other team. Don't you think that would be an advantage? They're cooler, they're more comfortable...they're happier - they're gonna play better.
Me with a questionable hitting stance. Coach pitch. 
I'm Right of Center. Front row. This was either Lincoln or Lakeview Park
As I remember I was a leading scorer on the freshman A-team, but did
not make the team my Sophemore year. Man that sucked. 
Wrastling. Both my brothers came 2nd in State,but won many other tournaments.
My brother Steve was cutting a lot of weight, and had nothing left when  he almost won the championship.
I was alright, but only wrestled in Elementry and Jr. High
