Play Ball!

Spring baseball has started! Time to watch Little Buddy swing his heart out in machine pitch. On the agenda: learn to catch. And until then, don't try to be a hero and line yourself up under a fly ball.


G is ready to hit the field. He backed out of his 2nd grade music program (in which he had a speaking part he'd been practicing for months) to be present for his game. Good thing, too, because his walk-off triple won the game for his team! I must address their uniforms: throwback to the 80's Astros. Bright hunter's orange with the whitest white pants ever. Two pairs I'm going to have to work on every week. Whomever thought making white baseball pants was a good idea needs their eye dotted. Both eyes.
Cade is a Yankee this year. His been putting in a lot of time in the off season practicing so I'm expecting some great improvements from him this season. We're working on self-confidence on the field and hopefully the inside the park homerun in his 2nd game helped with that. He's pitching a little as well and that makes me want to puke.
Here's to the start of a great season of baseball. Good times ahead!
