Play Ball....Fall ball, that is!

Round 2....

Nathaniel started to play baseball last spring. Two weeks into the season, he broke his wrist and was totally done. ;0( Fortunately, the same baseball group that he played for in the spring set up a "fall ball" program! We thought it would be neat for Nathan to be able to learn a little bit more about baseball now so that he's ready for it again in the spring!

Just to let you know how his first game went...
While up to bat for the first time EVER...(kid pitch, by the way!)...he was hit by the ball and walked. Every child after him was "walked" and Nathaniel was eventually "walked" home! While he was at 3rd base, he didn't pay any attention to what was going on around him, apparently he thought it was time to make conversation with his coach!! The pictures below will show you what the outfield was like...he occasionally would look up and check out his teammates around him and feel the need to say, "hi". The next time he was up to bat, he turned around and talk to the ump and inform him that his daddy told him to never swing at balls that were too high! Ugh!!!! ;0) It was a very cute, very funny, and a very "learning" experience!!!! We look forward to the many more games we will be playing! ;0)
