When I say it is intense, these kids play on a field with lights and games can end as late as 10:00 pm on weeknights. Who cares about school, right? Half of the games are machine pitch and the other half are kid-pitch. Did I mention that these kids are 7 & 8? Above, Will logs some time in the outfield.
Ben chose his own shoes this year and managed to choose red shoes since his team is the Reds. Lisa should know that GAP hoodies are completley unacceptable performace apparel. It needs to be Under Armour or Nike in this league. The most important thing about this picture is you'll note that Ben is wearing his pants correctly - showing the correct amount of sock. No pajama look (baggy pants, resting on shoes) for him
Will got a hit boh times up including this one with the bases loaded that drove in two runs.
Ben went 1-for-2 also driving in a run during a seven-run fourth inning that helped us tie up the game before the time limit was up.
Max loves the ballpark already too. He was very excited to watch the kids play "bay-ball."

Go Team! It must be so nice having your boy together. That sure can help make life a little easier. The pictures are great and your family is just adorable. Here's to a great season!
Welcome Guest Blogger Mark! Well done Mark, was that your first post?
We love baseball season! Gooo Yankees!
It is crazy intense out there...I'm surprised. Good luck! (I could just eat Max up! He's adorable!)
That's SO true about our city's priorities! I couldn't believe how serious baseball is here, even at Camden's age--he's four for goodness sakes! I'm used to Griffin's soccer, where all you need are shin guards and cleats (the league even provides the ball.) Kids on Cam's team have their own batting helmets, bats fit just to them, balls, mitts, batting gloves, Under Armor, several pairs of pants, the windbreaker to wear over their uniform, cleats, baseball socks, and a bags to store it all. Trouble is, the bags are far too heavy for a four-year-old to lift. They look darn cute, though.
Oh, and Cam wore his pants correctly at his games too (whew!)
