Mitchell is in tball this spring and he is very excited!
It pains his father to see the Hermiston Little League 'H' on the hat, but for simplicity's sake we are playing in town. At least the team colors are Stanfield approved!
Here he sports what seems to be a more correct hat (and also one that fits his big, brainy dome!).
Saturday morning there were opening ceremonies. Mitch had fun, and Shannon enjoyed the flights of fancy with her father.
Last night was the first game. It was fairly hilarious and Mitch declared it to be "awesome" afterward. He got a couple nice hits without clobbering the tee. He's a lefty at the plate!
Defense was where the hilarity came in. After every hit, all players rushed the ball. Mitch (8) and Carter (6) were quick to field it. Well, tackle would be a more appropriate word.
There are no outs in tball and no one keeps score. Every kid runs around the bases, one at a time. I "coached" third which meant I called to the kids on second and showed them where to run next. Here is Mitch coming in from second, full of focus.
Coach Sharp leads the team in a post-game cheer. All very exciting!
