The play by play....
It was a mad dash to make it from the office to Niko's school to the house to dress then to the baseball field allthewayacrosstown by 6PM, but we made it! Whew! I don't know how in the world we are going to do this all over again tomorrow night since the game is at 5 instead of 6, but I'm sure we'll all manage. This is life in the big little leagues after all!
C and I were joined in the cheering section by my mom, who entertained us with stories of my little brothers t-ball days. I think she got a bit teary eyed even. Such a bunch of saps in my family, I tell ya. Of course, her tears could have been the result of all the dust and wind. Actually, I think we were all just sad because we felt sooooooo olllllddddd! Was it really 30-ish years ago that we were playing on this same exact field? I suppose that's one of the things I love most about our sleepy little town....not much has really changed in all that time. Okay, well, maybe there have been a few of changes....like our ultra modern YMCA across the parking lot and the addition of the High School's beautiful theatre...but, whatever.
Get a load of my future Hall of Famer in action....

The score wound up tied, which...well...to be fair, we didn't really keep score. I wasn't aware that in t-ball there is only 2 innings, no outs and everyone bats twice. Oh, and everyone gets hugs, high-fives, juice and cookies at the end.

Dang. I just realized I had yogurt tonight...but, I'm free tomorrow nigh (didn't you say there was a game tomorrow night too?) Maybe I'll have to sneak by the field. I'll see if Mr. Rich is up to it as well...I know that he was really sad that he couldn't make it on Tuesday because of his PHX meeting...but, I know he wants to take pictures of the boy in action...and it would be a good excuse for me to use the SPORTS button on the 10D!
