Yeah, I humbly withdraw both numbnuts and HGH dealer:confused:.  You did come after me hard though...

The points you make above are so spot on...I agree with all of them...

Quick story.

My son thought he was a big deal this Spring because he made a high-level club baseball team.  They go to their first tournament down at Diamond Nation.

Their first game is against one of the top teams on the East coast.

My son leads off.  He hits a sharp grounder into the hole between short and third.  Now, my son has some serious speed.  Grounder in the hole is an automatic single - always has been.

Shortstop for the other team, moves back and to his right, backhands it and throws my son out by two steps.

My son usually beats that throw by at least a yard, if not more.  Put it this way, it is not a close play.

He just stops, turns and stares at the shortstop for an eternity...never had that happen to him before.

Two innings later, the kid comes in in relief for the starting pitcher and is throwing 85+ MPH (at 14 years old!!!!).

Turns out he is already being looked at by SEC schools as a freshman in high school.  They know who this kid is and he is on their radar.

My son struck out looking at 3 pitches without ever even swinging.  The 3rd strike was a curve that buckled him at the knees and had him bailing...

As you said above, there is always someone bigger, faster and just plain better...
