Play Ball!

It was for evenings like this that we moved to Michigan. To sit at the field and watch George play ball. Bird and LM ran around playing with the older kids. I said hello to many of the kids I know from teaching and talked with the moms on the sidelines while the dads coached in the fields. On top of all of that, we got to see a great game.

George was ready for the pitch.

With a hit, George found himself on first.

His teammates moved him around the bases.

Rounding second.

And crossing the plate to score a run.

He even played his position well!!

Do you suppose they are discussing free agency?

*Despite my love for several sports, LM has shown little interest in the years in anything athletic. His only exposure to baseball had been a trip to Baltimore several years ago to see my cousin play ball, or the games he has seen on television. He thought he was well prepared for George's game by bringing binoculars. Boy, was he surprised to find our seats were in the front row along the third base line with a perfect view of the entire field!!
