Baseball Buddies

As another round of swim lessons ended, we decided to take a break and let the boys try something different. They had mentioned playing baseball for some time, so the decision was easily made when I picked up a Fall Ball flyer from Claire's daycare. Several parents stated that fall ball is the best time for the boys to try out the sport, since it is a short season with 2 weeks of practice and 5 weeks of games.

Lucky for us, the boys are close enough in age that they were assigned the same team. They have been having a blast learning the sport and playing the games. I was expecting complaints about the heat, the cold, the dark, the bugs, something. However, they have really surprised me with their enthusiasm, excitement, and interest in the coaches guidance. I won't go as far to say that they are naturals,but they have gotten a few hits off of the pitching machine and a few good plays in. I was especially excited to see both of them get a good play to 1st Base when they were assigned to the pitcher mound.

I have a feeling that they will be anxious to sign up for the spring season of ball next year...
