Been there; done that.
A father's first responsibility is to his children; no matter how pitiful they are as ballplayers. Who gives a rip; none of 'em are gonna be Major Leaguers anyhow.
If someone doesn't care for whom you select to be on YOUR team . . . let them become a coach and get paid the big bucks for babysitting YOUR kids.
Neither of my kids were great, or even good, ball players. But both of them were, and continue to be, All Stars in my book!!!! If I have any influence on who's gonna be on my team, you bet your bootie my boys are on it!
Life's too short to worry about what other folks say/think. When my kids grow up (and they have) they'll know exactly why they were on the team . . . and why they'll put their own kids on the team when they grow up.
