This past Saturday our team executed a play that I wasn’t too sure that our group of 6 year olds (and one or two 7’s) would manage to pull off — a thrown put out at 1st base. But it happened. A sharp ground ball to Grayson at short (6) and he threw the ball almost perfectly to our 1st basement (3). And for that one moment, it was real baseball and it was beautiful. The stands went wild, I jumped about 10 feet in the air and the parents from the other team even laughed and cheered a little because they could appreciate what had happened. Once I calmed down a bit, I quickly wrote a 6-3 in my score book.

Funny thing is that while I felt like doing that would make my season, I suddenly find myself wanting more, which is good, because I want the kids to keep improving, but it’s interesting how reaching a goal quickly turns in to more goals. Some how I don’t think a 4-6-3 double play is going to happen though. But ya never know.
