The Ins and Outs of Baseball With Hunter

Baseball season is upon us and that means dragging Hunter a couple of times a week, kicking and screaming, to the baseball field. Of course, once he's there he has a lot of fun. . . well,uh, digging in the dirt. But the important part is, he's outside, away from the computer and he's being active. . . sort of. I can't say that I see Hunter making it into the Big League anytime soon (maybe if we practiced with him a little more often) but the lightbulb does come on every once in awhile, in the middle of a play, and then Hunter surprises us all. The kids are still young and except for the rare kid whose Dad is really into baseball and has instilled the same obsession in their kid, most of them would rather be digging in the dirt than running around trying to catch a ball they're afraid is going to knock their teeth out if they get too close to it. With that said, here's Hunter scoring the first out for his team (Go Hunter!) and then proceeding to "strike out" everytime he's up to bat, thereafter. Just click here and enjoy. Oh, and don't forget your peanuts and Cracker Jacks!

Nice play at first! He'll be hitting home runs soon enough. Hope his team does well this season.

 

life IS beautiful!

 

Hunter looks great! What a cool kid. I heard your "UH!" a couple of times. It's hard watching your kids compete and wanting them to be successful and proud, isn't it! I was always far more tense than any of you. Tell Hunter his Grandma Stout said, "Keep your eyes on the ball...follow it all the way through!" (I was such a great baseball player you know...NOT!)
