Re: Larkins Kid A Superstar
Can you imagine the hubris involved in a coach telling Barry Larkin's son that whoever taught him to hit taught him the wrong way?

Re: Larkins Kid A Superstar
Yeah, that was my thought. I don't doubt that he had a coach who tried to reteach him, but the whole "whoever taught you how to hit..." wreaks of embellishment to me. I can't imagine any coach pitch coach or 6 or 7 year olds would say that to the son of a major leaguer.

Re: Larkins Kid A Superstar
Would still be cool, for selfish reasons, to see the kid in a baseball uni.

Re: Larkins Kid A Superstar
I've seen Larkin play a good amount over the past two years and he is one of the top three point guards in the ACC. I always kinda pull for him individually when he's not playing NC State.

He would have looked good in Xavier blue with his uncle calling his games.
