Let's, Play Ball!


Opening Day was this past Saturday and had us up at the crack of dawn. 6 am to be exact. We got there and there was a parking lot full of players and about 20 trucks decorated with balloons and the whole nine. It was an exciting day as the kids were all in their clean new uniforms with doughnuts and orange juice in hand ready to start the new season off right. Yes it is just T-Ball but this league takes baseball seriously. At least for this age it is just for the fun but they get to see what team unity is all about. He was very excited not only to start playing baseball but because Jared is also one of his coaches. I left a little early to see the floats come down the street accompanied by the fire department. The kids in the back of the trucks waving and chanting their team name. "Go RED SOX!" It was very exciting and fun to watch. With a little ceremony of saying the Pledge of Allegience, singing the National Anthem and a visit from a former Dodger to excite the kids it was time to play ball. He had his first game and was first up to bat and he hit it pretty far. It was a great first game. This will be a great first baseball season for him. Here's to baseball filled weekends. How fun!

that is soo cool that the do a parade and stuff! And how fun to have Dad as your coach. I remember my mom used to be a referee when I played soccer. That was pretty cool. . . actually glad she wasn't my coach. Having my dad would have been pretty cool though! Good luck on your season!
