Opening Day

Opening day was great! In the 60's, warm and sunny with passing clouds. Man of man I love baseball. There is nothing better then a Saturday afternoon watching your boy play baseball.

Chad's team played the Mets. It was a close game with the Mets winning by one. Chad had an excellent double play. Catching the infield pop up and then was able to tag second before the player was able to make it back. He also had the the first RBI of the game on a dropped 3rd pitch no less. The funny part is that he was mad at the end. He was really mad that he didn't play better. I guess my boy is growing up. Taking things more seriously.

I forgot to mention that the reason I do not have any good pictures is that I was score keeping. When you give your niece and nephew the camera you end up with oodles of silly pictures of themselves!!! No good ones of your son! I really need someone else ot score keep!!!

6 down and 2 to go

After a long season, the Dodgers were in a solid 2nd place. Tournament started and Chads team lost the first game, throwing them into the losers bracket. Not to worry..it was the shot they needed to battle back. Now with a 5 game streak they are playing for 1st place. They play tonight and if they win, again tomorrow. I think it is apparent that my boys are hot and tired. They both agree that 2nd place is really not that bad.
Oh by the way..Chad plays catcher, 2nd base, and center field. NOT PITCHER...not even one pitch in a real game. With tournament rules being what they are Charlie can not pitch his best pitchers tonight. He has to pitch #'s 3, 4, and 5! Start praying...Chad is #4. He is ready...certain he can seal the deal. I on the other hand am sick to my stomach.

Home Run Derby

The one benefit of Charlie being on the baseball league board is KEYS!!! Keys to the lights, the pitching machine, and balls. So some friends of ours called and after the last game, 10pm we headed out for a little home run derby.



Sherman in his umpire uniform.
He still has it! Charlie had the most home runs!

Bryce was right behind Charlie in total runs..but he hit the house behind the fields so I would have to say he won!

Kade one of the boys Charlie coached on football was hitting!
Chad in full laker attire! He got under a couple and really hit them deep.

I think that Charlie has such a cool follow through stance. It was a good time for all. My friend Becky hit as well as me! I did not hit a home run, big suprise. Morgan hung out in the snack bar behind home plate watching in warmth and safety.
