Here’s Tim at bat in his last summer league baseball game on August 19th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now … it’s on to football season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim at 11 years old, is just over 5 feet tall and weighs 145 lbs! He is too heavy and we have a deal where he’s going to try and get down to 134 by October 20th – and even then he’ll still be too heavy. 145 is more then I weighed as a freshman in college. In fact I can recall weighing myself before I played my last match for the Met NY select side (I was 35, so it was 22 years ago) and I weighed 146.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here is Tim this past Sunday at his preseason scrimmage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His number this year is 70, which was Sam Huff’s number (remember him)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try and find #70 –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In between scrimmaging sessions. Everything was held on the Ossining HS football field, with about six towns involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim is a master of sartorial elegance on the football field. The white pads sticking out are hip pads – but I don’t think he’s quite got them right. They look more like loose kidney pads the way he has them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim looked pretty good in the scrimmage, depite having a cold or some sort of allergy or asthma attack. He has a little asthma-like problem occasionally. Yesterday the pediatrician put him back on an inhaler. After the scrimmage Tim’s head coach told him “Tim, no comment…  No one can stop you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season runs Saturday mornings for the next eight weeks (with one bye) and then playoffs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
