Anyway, I can't say enough good things about our experience with baseball this year. It was nothing but fun and learning for the kids - no competition, no pressure. Just kindness and encouragement from a couple of great coaches and all the wonderful parents who participated. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to youth sports. And that's not to say that I want my kids to play very many sports, though! Two evenings a week is a lot to give up for a couple of months when you're the homebody type. But it was very worth it this time.
And another thing - I did not take these pictures! There is a dad on the team who is also a professional photographer on the side (in addition to being a colonel or something crazy like that), and he took these great shots...and many more. So anyway, just giving credit where credit is due!

Run, Drake, run!
The kids all loved sliding into home - gotta get those uniforms dirty at each game!
