My Major League-er

We are well into baseball season and my son never ceases to amaze me. He is such an athletic little boy. Griffin is only 8 years old and already we are out 5 to 6 times a week for baseball! We are doing something new this year - a traveling baseball team - The Grinders. Let me tell you - traveling ball is a lot more serious than rec ball! Have you ever watched the dads? It is hilarious! We have already been penalized because of our obnoxious dads yelling at the umpires!

Our team was actually coached by a real minor league player! Ray Serrano came and spent a few weeks with our boys - what an awesome opportunity!

A couple of weekends ago, we were in Waycross for an all-day tournament. Griffin usually plays left field, but our catcher was out this day and Griff filled in for him. He was reluctant to try catching because he had not played that position before - but he did great! You get a lot of action on the catcher's mound and that is what my boy likes! We were at the baseball field from 930am to 930pm. Our team won every game until the championship game. Bummer - but we left in good spirits! WAY TO GO Grinders!!!!
