It's great to see my grandson Andy playing T-ball and learning the game of baseball. Seth takes him regularly to practices and games and works with him in the backyard to hone his skills. I want to emphasize the word learning. These kids are learning. One of the players slid into home plate and he was just coming to bat. And, sometimes they get confused and run to third instead of first!
The kids are all five to seven years old and have lots of fun. Below is a photo of Andy getting a hit and then running to first. His stats were pretty good for the day. He was 2 for 3 and scored a run.
It looks like he was thrown out on this play, but he actually beat the throw... when the first baseman dropped the ball. Let's see that's an error right? Naw, who's counting? In fact, nothing was counted, not even runs and it's a good thing too. None of them can count that high!
Andy played shortstop and not only looked like a baseball player, he played like one. With these position players, the routine ground ball has become obsolete! One of the ballplayers on his team just finished his first book. Can you believe that! He will now try to read a second one!
