Alex and Jack both got into baseball this summer. Alex (at 5 yrs old), joined t-ball and played on Tuesday evenings in Appleton. We're fortunate to live close and could attend almost all of his games. Most of the time he really enjoyed it (especially at the end when the two teams form the "Good Game" hand-slapping lines), and mainly liked to be the catcher, which is a glorified position since the kids hit off tees, but the catcher gets to touch the ball a lot so he liked that.
Early in the season, Uncle Steve gave Alex a bat that had been Jack's and he felt pretty special having his own bat at all of the games.
Early in the summer, Jack was playing soccer but was able to start playing baseball as the summer progressed. He was chosen to represent his team (the Cardinals) in the All-Star game, which I attended earlier today. He did really great with some good plays and good batting. It was a hot day, but he played hard and we went for ice cream after the game. Even though his team lost by two runs, he was able to hit in one of his team's runs and he scored the last run for his team.
Prior to the game, Jack and Dad did some shopping and Jack got his own batting helmet and he selected an orange one that really stands out!
