And younger bro’s encouragement is amazing! Makes me giggle too,” posted a Twitter user. “New home setup,” joked another. “Real man of genius,” commented a third. “Brilliant. Wonder how he attached the ball without it coming off the line,” wondered a fourth. “That's a great idea. Kid has one hell of a swing. He steps into the ball, good batting stance, good technique with his swing. Either Dad is a coach, or the kid plays little league. Either way, good job Dad,” wrote a fifth.
