Baseball Again?


Well, it is that time of year again, baseball season! Lucky number 7 has hit the field again, and this year he is busy. They don't have enough catchers for all 3 teams, so Jared is playing on two teams. He catches for one team Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then plays outfield for the other team Tuesdays, some Thursdays, and then catches one game and outfield another on Saturday double headers. Busy boy, but he loves it. So far it has been going well. The pen striped red and white lost a close one to the ominous Black and Blue Panthers last week 3 to 4, but Jared played well. But to make up for it the next day he got to take on another Panther team only playing with the other team, and they took them down with a commanding 5 to 0 win. This week has started off well with a win over the Black Tornado's, and a perfect game behind the plate for him. Then last night the team couldn't quite handle the Eagles, but Jared had 2 beautiful hits, one hit the center field fence, and another perfect game behind the plate.

Hey does Jared pitch too? Connor's team could really use another pitcher! Maybe Jared could pitch on for us on Saturdays, you didn't mention he had games that day! THREE teams wouldn't be too many would it Monica? Don't you drive/drop off kids full time anyway?? Good luck to Jared, sounds like a fun and busy season!!

Way to go J. We'll try to come catch a game or two this year!

My poor son doesn't even understand the rules of baseball living out here in the Motherland. He knows about cricket though, and that's REALLY confusing.

Sorry we didn't get to spend some time together when we were in the US - our schedule was packed! We didn't get to do half the stuff we wanted to do.
