Play Ball!

Baseball season has officially started for Luke.  He's had a few practices and Wednesday was his first game of the year.  He was so excited!  We're playing with the Y this year & so far I am much happier with this league than the one we played in last year.  It's for fun and it's not the competitive track that so many people think must be taken (I disagree with that idea if you can't tell...at least at this age!)  He got a nice jersey instead of a t-shirt and we're playing at a much nicer facility for less $$.  Plus we're on a team with friends, which is a plus!  Here's Luke before the game.



Here he is up to bat for the first time.  Since he has jersey #1, he was the "lead-off batter" (his words).

 On base!  He got hits 2 of his 3 times up to bat.  Not bad!

Trying out the role of catcher.  It was a little tough...his legs were too skinny for the shin guards.  They kept getting twisted & coming unhooked and falling off.  I could tell he was frustrated, but it was a little funny to watch him out there in all that equipment.

Playing 2nd base seemed a little less stressful for him.

It was a great first game.  We're ready for game number 2 next week!
