Tball Fall 2009

Anderson recently begun his 1st season of T-ball. He is a RiverCat and is LOVING every minute of it!! Many days he can be found in uniform- and if he happens to have a practice or game scheduled for the day - he is usually sporting his uniform as soon as possible. Not only does he have the standard issue baseball mit and bat, but he also has several pairs of batting gloves that he wears. Whenever it's his time to hit - he'll suit up with the baseball gloves like a seasoned pro!! It's coach pitch for 4pitches and then they are allowed to hit off the tee if they can't get a hit from the coach pitch. The coach rotates the kids' positions so they get to move around and 'experience it all'. Anderson is one aggressive little fella. At yesterday's game he was in the pitcher position - but no matter where on the field the ball was hit- you better believe Anderson was running after it!! We're also working on the team concept with Anderson - even if his teammate is getting the ball, Anderson tries to get the ball from him. Gotta love his enthusiasm, but we're trying to teach him that it's OK to let your teammate get the ball too!! He's a good little hitter and will get better as he gets stronger and bigger, but he's doing great and only had to use the tee just once.

i guess all those nights watching mark play softball has paid off! Glad he's enjoying it - he sure does look adorable in his uniform! :)

I'm surprised Mark hasn't told him stories of Mr. Joe running all over the field to try and get the ball! He is so cute in his uniform. I know this is the beginning of many t-ball seasons to come!
