Baseball Is Beginning

Tonight, it began! Baseball that is...currently our families favorite sport. We began tonight with Caden's 3rd year in the Jr. Midget league on the Cardinals. He came out of his room dressed and ready at 5:15 for his 8:00 game! He wore is "first season" cap, which is horribly filthy and very old looking but apparently extremely lucky according to Caden. He also chose his very stained pants from last season rather than his new pair. Oh Well!! Choose your battles right? It was very cool at game time. It was a bit strange to bring blankets and sweatshirts to a baseball game but that's what the weather called for this evening. Caden started the game at catcher. He showed a lot of hussle and threw one runner out at 2nd base. The kid pitching for the Cardinals tonight was 'on fire' with strike after strike! So, Caden didn't have a lot of chances to try throws to 2nd. After the score was 10 to O (us), Ryan moved kids around. Caden moved to short stop and then to center field. The final score was 13-2. At the plate, Caden hit a single and walked. At the plate for the third time, Ryan asked him to bat left handed...thinking Caden would strike out and the game would get over quicker! Well, that plan didn't work. Caden hit toward 3rd base for a single. I think he got lucky but Caden will confidently tell you differently! It was a great beginning. I just hope Rylan and Hudson's goes as well!
