T-Ball

Toby entered the arena of athletes this past weekend with a parade and first game for the White Sox!  And who better to coach this child prodigy than his amazing Dad!!  

He's playing T-Ball, which is like baseball except little kids hit the ball off a giant tee!  They play for 2 innings (baseball has 9 innings, plus extra if a tie), no one gets out, no score is kept and no one wins - at least not yet!  However, Scott had those 5/6 year olds engaged and fully participating, like he'd been doing it all his life!

Since Toby is #1 (he got to pick his shirt first!) he was the first batter in the first inning, and the last in the second, which meant he got to run round all the bases after his hit - a home run, sort of!!

Here's the day in pictures!

This is his buddy Dillon, who lives across the street - Scott arranged for him to be on our team.

 Toby told Scott here that he was scared because the other team looked good!  But he overcame it!

and he's been telling everyone about his home run!!

Game one over.

I think we have 12 games to play in the next two months!  Some weeks there are three, others one or none!  Then there's additional practices when Scott can squeeze them in.  It will be busy until June around here!
