Summer T-Ball--Jack 2013

Jack was old enough this year to join Rochester Youth Baseball! He played "Kinderball" on the Premier Bank team.

He had a blast.  And, if I do say so myself, he was quite good!  His coaches were wonderful and he made some little friends.  His best friend, Ryan, was also on his team.

This picture was taken by one of the parents on the team.  He had a fancy camera, and was clearly an amazing photographer!  He took action shots of each kid and then blew them up to 8 x 10 for each child's family!

Jack got the coach's game ball the first game because he had some good plays.  He was pretty excited about that. Each kid got the game ball at least once!  Jack got it twice!

Jack's favorite positions to play were "pitcher," catcher and first base!  I say "pitcher" because they actually hit off a tee, but there was someone in that position pretending to pitch, but then most of the balls would come to that position.  The picture below is when he was playing catcher.

Almost every day on the way to t-ball, Jack would fall asleep in the car! He was tuckered out from VBS or Quarry Hill Camp or swimming all afternoon!

And, of course, each game and practice meant antics from the little brother!

We're already looking forward to baseball next summer.  Next year it's "coach pitch."

Bishop Bulldogs Summer T-ball

Jack will be a Bishop Bulldog next year!  He's going to Harriet Bishop Elementary next year and this summer he has the opportunity to play on a PTSA sponsored t-ball team with other kids that will be ages K-2 next year.  It is the greatest deal ever.  8 Wednesdays, a t-shirt and an opportunity to mingle with other Bishop families all for $15!  Amazing!  He loved it and had a couple good hits!  His outfielding skills as well as the other kiddies out there were lacking but they all seemed to be having fun!
