That's pretty good, by the way. As for his getting into the Hall, after all this time, it's not likely. Perhaps you have a point about him and deafness and all, but it just doesn't seem likely.

At the beginning, suggest you get a feeling for the rules and how the game is played. Besides reading books, watch as many games as you can. Even watching a local Little League game would give you experience on understanding the game. Try not to get too bogged down with stats and records. As you read more, players names and records will emerge and you can then concentrate on what looks interesting - home runs, hits, pitching, etc. Read information about the players in the Hall of Fame. They will be the names you will see most often in other references. Read their bios to find out why they are in the Hall of Fame. Also refer to Wikipedia on line for history, rules, teams, ball parks. Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. There are references/links at the bottom of each article that will give you more information. If you are a Cubs fan, learn their history first so you can have an appreciation of what the last 101 years have been like for Cubs fans. Also keep reading the questions and answers in the baseball Section on Y/A. Doing a search for questions will also give you older questions and answers. If you're not sure of something, ask on Y/A - just be prepared for many great and a few not so great answers. As many fans as there are, I don't believe anybody knows everything about baseball - so you will always be discovering something new. Have fun!!! Try this book first – "How to Choose a Book for Dummies"

I am not saying that you shouldn't try to learn the rules - but by the same token, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Most coaches are more than happy to explain things - we're in it to teach kids.

You can never know too much about baseball, sister! Honestly, no one will know or care that you don't know much about baseball yet. Just cheer when they cheer and boo when they boo. Fake it till you learn. The important thing is that you have fun and make sure your son enjoys his games as much as you do! : ) Get a book AND watch & learn AND keep playing on XBox.
