My Baseball Boy! So we gave Cole a choice of a few things that he could do outside of school. Some of the choices were, Boy Scouts, Baseball, Basketball, and there were others that he really wanted nothing to do with! So his choice at this point was baseball. I like baseball, it is fun and he gets good excercise! Of course I prefer swimming and he will be going back to swimming once baseball season is over, but that is more for safety reasons then for fun! He seems to be enjoying the practices and he is doing about the same as the rest of the boys (and one girl) that are on his team. He has a pretty good arm and he doesn't do too badly at hitting. His weakest area was catching! The above photo is pretty good! He is throwing the ball (you can see it in the upper right corner. A little high, but it got to the other kid! Oh and Tina, if you look really close at Cole's sweat pants you may just recognize them! Check the bottom of the back leg!*

In the next photo you can see that the ball is going straight for the mitt! Don't remember if it actually stayed in the mitt but he did catch a ball at least once while I was there! He seems to be doing ok at the batting cages too, according to his dad! The field where the kids practice has been too muddy the last few practices so they go to the batting cages to practice their hitting.

I think their first game is in March. That should be interesting! Wish Cole luck in his latest endeavor!

*They are the Mighty Ducks sweats you gave Cole a long long time ago! He likes them now more than ever! They are starting to get a little short, but they are lightweight and comfy!
