One of my most favorite things to do is watching my #2 Grandson play baseball. This season he has pitched a little, played first base and centerfield. He is a good hitter, a fast runner and loves to steal around the bases. He plays with a great group of boys and has good coaches.
His regular season team won first place and came in second at district. We have been to tournaments, with the travel team, where we have done very well and to others that were not quite as successful. Those we call character building experiences.
There is nothing better than to be sitting on the sidelines and watch your grandson slide on his knees on the ground to catch a fly ball in short centerfield and then pop up and throw the runner out at first. HOW COULD A DOUBLE PLAY BE ANY MORE EXCITING THAT THAT! In this same game he also hit his first over the centerfield fence home run!
I love baseball and I love the fact that he is passionate about the game and wants to play. I look forward to many, many hours sitting on the sidelines cheering his team on and watching him grow up. What more could a grandmother want.
