Take me out to the ball game

Baseball season is officially underway! Yahoo.










Yesterday this big guy
























This middle sized guy



































and this little guy all had games.





























This big guy is playing in the minor leagues. He played first base for 2 innings and pitched a couple of innings. And did a bang up job I must say. He hit and got on base every time up to bat. Impressed I was.













This Middle sized guy is playing machine pitch. He is lucky because his dad is his coach. I missed his game due to the fact that I am coaching the little guys T-ball team but this is the word I received from him and his coach. He started the game out a bit shaky by striking out his first up to bat but ended the game strong with a smashing triple.










This little guy is playing T-ball (as before mentioned). He likes T-ball but doesn't consider it real baseball because his mom is the pitcher. But he endures it. He started the game in the outfield at second base. He soon digressed to throwing his glove on the ground in a fit of rage, plopped himself behind second base and put his head between his knees and cried. (His team mates do not know how to stay out of this all stars way and it can be very frustrating). What did his coach do when her sweet little T-ball er showed his frustration in this way? She did what all T-ball coaches would have done, she ignored him and walked over to first base to help the non crying player. He perked up when it was our teams turn to bat and came to the plate like Babe Ruth. He has a good batters stance and a great swing coupled with a very determined face, he had the other kids worried about how hard he was going to hit. Lucky for them he still hits like a 6 year old.



The little girls got to be cheerleaders and a suckling little calf (because that is what Alaina did most of Tanners game, what a muncher!)
