Baseball

Those of you who know me know that I love baseball.  I really wanted to be a good player when I was young, but apparently reading books about it just wasn’t enough.  Well, my son Josiah is much better than I ever was and is playing for his high school team (Boca Christian School, we live in Boynton Beach which is a long way from WA).  Here are a few pictures of Josiah playing.  After thos pictures you will see me out on the softball field.  Coral Ridge has twelve teams that play on Saturday night and I am a part of the “Sons of Thunder.” Josiah and I are having a great time playing, though I am a little bit of an embarrassment, both to myself and the team.  I only fell down three times last week and I think that part of the problem was that I was wearing blue jeans.  One young boy in the stands commented in the hearing of Cindy, “I sure do feel sorry for that man in the blue jeans.” We will be playing every Saturday night at 5:30 (not tomorrow though) for the next 8 weeks.

Our first game came down to extra innings in which the batter only gets one pitch to swing at.  We were down by one run with two outs, a man on third, and I came to the plate.  It was ugly, that is all I can say.  We lost by one run due to my inability to drive in the tying runner on third base

Oh well, we had a lot of fun, and again Josiah is much better than I ever was.  Maybe it’s because he practices instead of reads about it.  Enjoy the photos.
