My Little Slugger

If you will please indulge me, I must dote a bit. The era of organized sport has begun in my family. My son is now in T-Ball! As you can see by the following picture, he is rather pleased with the development.


Last night was his very first game ever.


It took a little instruction for him to know exactly what to do.


The swing...


The hit!


JC waiting on second for the next batter.


Last minute instructions from the third base coach as he prepares to head for home.

And he scores! The crowd goes wild. Well, at least two of the members of the crowd went wild. Everyone else just applauded mildly (I don't know what was wrong with them).

It is hard to believe that I could have a son old enough to be in baseball. Well, if the truth be known, I'm old enough to have a kid playing high school baseball, but that's beside the point. It seems just yesterday he was playing with the ball hanging from the mobile in his crib. Now this. How time flies. You know what, though? I'll take it!

God is most certainly good.

Oh, come on, you can't be that old! Now you're making me look forward to when I get to realize my dream of raising the next Babe Ruth. Enjoy it, brother!

Good to see he is a lefty! He looks like a natural!

I'll be 38 this coming Wednesday. You do the math ;-) Thanks to both of you.

Two things I like about the young lad's inaugural game:

1) He's a lefty
2) He's starting his career with the Dodgers

Kind of reminds me of a washed-up player who now blogs in Arizona.

Enjoy the moment, David. Some of the better family memories have a baseball field involved.

Truer words were never spoken.
