Kids should practice autographing baseballs. This is a skill that's often overlooked in Little League.

My dad was my Little League coach and my Cub Master.

I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield.

I played Little League in junior high and high school.

But Little League can be a great experience for kids, as long as they want to play--and don't play to bring their parents glory.

I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time.
