The Season Starts!

Both boys opened their baseball seasons today. It was a typical West Texas day, sunny, windy, with dirt blowing about 40 mphs. Anyway, the games were on! Jeffrey started this year in machine pitch. Jeffrey managed to get two hits in the game out of two at bats. The video at the bottom shows his first hit. Joel got three hits in his game and, by finding a stray baseball, made an out by picking up the ball and quickly touching his base! (he played third base). Again the video shows Joel's first hit as well. I didn't know I was merging both videos together. You can hear the wind blowing if you have the speakers turned on. Not sure if Jeffrey's team won or not. I had to leave with 20 mins left to play to go coach Joel's team. I heard that Jeffrey's team won 7 to 6. We started out down 4 to 0. I think it helped that I left.

Anyway, both boys had a great time and their dad did too. I'm very proud of how they played and behaved out on the field. If you ever had a chance to see a 4 yr old T-ball game it more for entertainment than anything else. We had kids chasing the ball that they hit and returning it to their coach. Of couse the dirt was kicked and weeding was done by both teams. All-in-all it was a good day and a great start to their seasons!
