First Baseball Game of the Spring 2008 Season!

Last weekend was the opening of the Spring 2008 tball season. Our team consists of players that have been on the team for a couple of seasons now, so they are getting to know their stuff and it definitely showed! When our team took the field, they got into their designated positions and all together they put their hands on their knees in a crouched position, looking like professional baseball players. The team we were playing consisted of a LOT of younger kids - mostly 4-year olds - and it showed! Our team looked VERY intimidating out on the baseball field and I even felt a little sorry for the opposing team! That started the game off right and it only got better. Euan got one of the first balls hit and grounded it like he has been doing this for years (when in all actuality he really has). He threw it to first and was so proud of himself! He cheered a little after he threw the ball and it was like a lightbulb went off in that little boys head and he finally knew what baseball was all about! Ashton got one of the next few balls, as well, and he also grounded it with grace! I was so proud of our boys and the rest of the team followed suit, showing off their experience! I wish I had had a video camera on our team that day - they were FANTASTIC and it was a GREAT way to start off the new season!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOO BRAVES!!!!!!!
