Baseball begins in full swing

OPENING CEREMONIES
Saturday, March 28, 2009
Jared is on the Raptors. He is the second to last in this line.

Travis in on the Tigers. He is in the middle behind the banner.

Last night was Jared's first game. He played 2nd baseman. Watching these little kids is so fun. They are so cute and little.
Here is Jared up at bat. He is #4. He was up to bat twice. In his league it is coach pitch. Each kid gets 6 pitches. Jared's first at bat he hit several foul balls but was then out. His 2nd at bat, he pretty much missed each pitch. He was a little timid on the field. Hopefully he will warm up as the season progresses. He is a great little ball player. I think their team tied 5-5.

It was also Travis' first game last night. Both games started at 5:15pm. One at Avairy Park, the other at Seastrand Park. They are about 5 minutes apart. We dropped Travis off at his game and then went over to Jared's game. Randy was able to come for about the last 5 minutes of Jared's game. We then headed over to catch the last 1/2 hour of Travis' game. Here he is up at bat. He got to bat 3 times. He got to play 1st base the whole game. He loved it! Their team won 8-5. It was a great night but pretty chilly for us sitting there watching.

Jared's 1st baseball injury. You can't see it very well in this picture, but one of his foul balls bounced back off the home plate and hit him in the cheek. He was a real trooper. He has a nice bruise under his eye. I'm glad it didn't hit him in the eye. He seems to have already forgotten it, so hopefully he isn't nervous at the next game.

Congrats to Travis's team...He looks great up to bat! (more comfortable with the bat than my boys!) Tell Jared to look out for those balls..they can cause damage! (ie Jax) But now he can say he is a true player and "took one for the team"
