a baseball at the end of the game, when we came down toward the dugout, and threw it straight to my son who is a new enthusiastic baseball slugger and it was the most special moment for all of us.... thank you so much, that was the most special moment I could ever hope for, one my son and I will remember forever. What a special memory. Thank you so much!! GO TIGERS!!!

Pretty cool , keep taking that boy to the games. They don’t stay that young long and you and him make lifelong memories. I’m 47 and my dad who passed away last March use to take me to every game in every sport . A lot of times just me and him. Oh how I wish I could go back for just one more of those awesome days.

I have 2 daughters and they grew up going to sporting events from Baseball to Hockey. But about the age of 13-14 they rather stay with friends or home. It’s just different with a son and sports he will go with you as long as you take him.

Be patient - by 15-16 they will most likely decide the quarterback is cute, or the entire baseball team is cute, etc, and their enthusiasm may pick back up.

We are from Florence, we went to every home Clemson football game, 10 or so baseball games and 4-5 Basketball games every year. We also went to about every Francis Marion Baseball and basketball games. When I got to HS I played baseball and Basketball, he sat in the same spot for everyone of my games . He would follow the buses for the away games. I can still hear him yelling hustle Hustle!

That is awesome. That picture is worth a thousand words. You really could get a 9x12 print of it and have Monte and the team sign it for him, or the baseball. Caption:
Future Tiger Slugger!!!!
Monte is one of the good ones. Dabo laid the foundation for Clemson culture and we are very fortunate to have an outstanding Athletic program being established for the right reasons... not just a win at all cost culture, but imo one that will last for years to come. Student athletes - not athletic students.
God Bless and Go Tigers!
