Even though it’s officially still winter we got back to baseball today. It was a day full of new beginnings. Not only was it Grant’s first baseball game of the season, but it was also his first time playing with his new team {The Wichita Athletics}.
This is a 2-1 tournament so every kid steps up to the plate with a 2-1 pitch count. Luckily, he cranked one of his first pitches out into right field and it actually got stuck in the fence!!!
Jeff helped out on first base today and I was kind of hoping to get a picture of him and Grant there together. {I don’t think I’ve had one of those shots since the early days of tee ball.} I guess I’ll have to keep waiting though because Jeff flagged him on around to second base before I could get my camera ready.
Here he is on third base with one of his {new} coaches . . . Gary!!!
I even got a little smile after he crossed the plate and was running into the dugout!!!
From these pictures you can probably tell that Grant had to bulk up for the game. Thanks to the cold Kansas wind he had 5 layers on top and 3 on the bottom. We are crossing our fingers for much warmer temperatures tomorrow. Since our first game got cancelled this morning due to the wind-chill we have three games left to play tomorrow.
