Spring and Baseball

It's that time of year that the birds are chirping, the grass is growing, and the bats are swinging. No, not the bats that live under bridges and in caves. Aluminum and wood bats are swinging for all the little leaguers, high schoolers, college players, and pros. T-man is officially thrown into the mix of baseball players this year, and he couldn't be more excited.

Monday night marked his first official practice of the season. And of course, we were the first ones to the fields. (We were just 20 minutes early.)

Doesn't this look like a kid who is in love with the sport.

He had a blast practicing T-ball. They learned the different positions that are on the field. The practiced their throwing abilities and how to stop a ground ball with their bare hands. P will be one of the assistant coaches for the team, while I will be the team mom. I will get to sit in the dug out with the kids, trying to keep them in some sort of order, telling them when they are up to bat, and keeping the score. This is going to be so much fun. I think that we all can't wait.

This season, we are attending several Aggie Baseball games. This is always a fun thing for us to do as a family because we like baseball so much. Last night we attended the Cal-State Fullerton game. While we were there, the game was a very competitive game. We left at the top of the 6th inning (school night and all), which was a good thing, because Cal-State walked all over A&M after we left.

As we move forward with T-ball, I will try to update everyone on the team's wins, loses, and just plain excitement of 13 little 5 and 6 year old boys. Plus, I will add some commentary of Aggie Baseball. WHOOP!
