Congratulations to you and your son.  I understand your ambivalence, but it's a great opportunity for him.  Look at it this way... maybe he will get traded to the Yankees!

Assuming your story is true, if the situation you've described comes to pass you'll root for your son to get a hit and win the game.

As you should.

I hope he will forgive us when we call for a pitch up and in. ;)

Now THAT was funny!

    Congradulations.   No matter who he signed with it has to be a great thrill for a parent.  Wish him the best.  Enjoy the thrill because many a parent wishes they could live your dream.  Who he signed with is not important.

my question is  , how did he get  signed by the Red Sox. This is not June, it is March. The last time I checked the

the MLB draft  was not until June. The only way he got signed  by the Blow Sox now is a international

FA. Is that  case? Otherwise this does not happen. The Red Sox can't  just  sign anyone "off the street "  without  using the MLB draft or internationals free agency. I think it would be nice if  you explained how this happened,
