Ok. So it's been a while since I've been here. I could show you my calendar, you would see I've been and am going to be busy. Why? It's Winter baseball season here in Ramona.
Right now, it's about G. His first game was this past Sunday. Garret is a lefty, so when he was up to bat we got a couple of great pictures of him. Very cool. He went 1 for 3 with a 2 RBI double. His team won 7-0. Not a bad first game. He got to play Right Field, Left Field, and a little 3rd Base. He thinks he wants to try catcher. Whatever position he ends up at, I'm so proud of him.
Take a look at his pictures.

My youngest son, Garret, has never done a team sport before. He's been in Tang Soo Do for a year and a half, but no team sports. He wanted to play baseball. Winter season is a little shorter and a little more laid back than the regular season, so we figured, 'Go for it.' My older son, Ethan, wanted to play too. So we signed them both up. More on Ethan in a minute.

Now on to Ethan. Ethan has played baseball before, sort of. He played about 3 years ago on a not so well coached team. T-ball with a coach that wanted to coach kids that already knew how to play. Not so much with Ethan. But he got to play some. Well its been a few years and he was ready to play again. So we signed up the boys.
For his age group, the league didn't have enough boys sign up to make up a good division. So they held another sign up day. The results. Too many kids now and not enough coaches. So I was asked to Manage Ethans team. I said yes. When I told him, you should have seen his eyes light up.
I told him like this. 'Ethan I've got good news and bad news about baseball. The bad news. The league called and they've got too many kids and not enough coaches. So your team didn't have a coach. The good news. It does now!(as I pointed at myself with both thumbs)' Oh man, you would have thought the kid won the lottery or something. He gave me the biggest hug. I was 10 feet tall!
So we had a "bye" game for the first week, and our first game will be next Sunday. I'll take some pictures, and keep you posted.
"Play Ball!"
