T Ball Ty

So I'm a little emotional about my little man in T Ball. I'm not quite sure why since baseball in general is not my favorite sport to watch (or play...flying balls anyone?!)

I do know this: There is a little spark in Ty when he puts on his mit, when he's up to bat, when he's out in the outfield sporting a true outfielder's stance, when his daddy stands right next to him as a coach. That is why I'm loving this (so far, it's only been one game folks).

Here is Ty & Greg in the outfield. For being their first time on a team these little dudes really knew how to mimic what the big boys do. You should see Greg wind up to throw.

This is how much they won by...just kidding. They don't keep score.As you can see in this picture, Ty didn't quite get the whole walk past the other team and give them 5. He needs more coaching on that one.

This is what got my emotions started I think. These pictures were taken on Saturday at Opening Ceremonies. All the little t-ball teams got to parade in, running around the bases before the Big Boys and Girls came out. I sat there watching with tears in my eyes. Not necessarily about Ty but about the start of it all for some of these kids. Some of the tiny little boys and girls will be in baseball all the way through high school and maybe college....and here on this day was where it all began. I found it sweet that I got to see the future of some of these children start on this field.
