Baseball

This year Owen started baseball. He had no interest in T-ball so we skipped it and went straight to baseball. He is #28 on the A's. The league he is in does machine-pitch. It's a pretty fast pitch and he is working hard to get the hang of it! It's a lot harder than when Dad pitched to him.

A few months ago when it was time for baseball registration I asked Owen if he wanted to play and he said no. I kept asking him throughout the week and no matter what, he said no. I couldn't believe it. This kid likes to play any sport and we play baseball at Robby's parents' house all the time. So finally I asked him why he didn't want to play and he admitted he wasn't sure he knew how to run all the bases! Robby then did a quick lesson on baseball (diagrams and all) and Owen decided that he definitely wanted to play baseball. I don't think he realized his team would have lots of practices before an actual game.

So far he loves practice and can't wait for a game. Unfortunately, it keeps raining so no games yet!
