And So It Begins
That’s right, it’s finally time for the Little Man to step up to the plate, literally. Ian’s first game was this last Wednesday, and was an experience in pure joy to watch. From the look on his face the whole time, I’d say he felt the same way about playing. There was a lot of silliness, but overall the kids got the idea and played a couple innings each without keeping score. In this league, there’s no pitcher, but rather a coach with a spring-loaded pitching machine that puts the ball right over the plate. After seven swings, you get the tee, and that seemed to work just fine. Lots of smiles, goofy runs, missed grounders, and a few solid hits made for a good afternoon.
