Baerke shows off his skills.

An 18-month-old Dutch toddler has won a pro contract after a video of him expertly kicking soccer balls into his toy box scored almost a million hits on YouTube.
Baerke van der Meij was offered the symbolic contract by Venlose Voetbal Vereniging, the team his grandfather once played for, the Telegraph reports.
The toddler, with a little help from his pop, put crayon to paper to seal the deal.
"The toddler's favorite position has not yet been determined," the club said in a statement.
"However, we can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kicking technique, perseverance and, importantly: football genes via his grandfather."
Little Baerke's only comment was "ball."
