Baseball dad

I need to update the photos on my blog--they're all from Fall 2010. A lot has changed since then.

We're in the middle of baseball season for two of my four boys. Son number Two is playing 6th grade EP baseball.  After four games he's batting 12 for 14.  That's a pretty good start if you ask me.  He also shares some pitching duty. His arm isn't terribly strong but he's pretty accurate. 

Son number Three is playing 3rd grade baseball. He's not as hot at the plate but is the "go to" pitcher for his team. Recently, another pitcher on his team was struggling and had loaded the bases with no outs. The coaches conferred about what to do and ultimately pulled number Three in from the outfield--he struck out the first two batters he faced and got a ground out to end the inning. In the next inning he played first base and got two of the three outs for that inning by tagging a runner and catching a pop up.  Third graders tend to drop a lot of balls, but his glove is golden.
