Why would any dad not teach a son how to throw a ball. Is that official child neglect in this country? :?)
As for Barry, his father was Kenyan and he only met him once, he lived in Indonesia until he was about 10, and he had no father in Hawaii when he moved back there so he probably never played baseball. He did play basketball, but he sucked and was third string in high school. So, he seems never to have thrown a baseball until he was in front of a whole stadium at a baseball game. Bad time to start.
Have you seen his golf swing? It's almost as bad. The guy is just a wuss.
As a Canadian he would have grown up playing hockey, where it is the duty of every father to teach his son how to score a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
