Let the games begin...well almost

So Brandon has been waiting a whole year for baseball season to roll around, so when he saw the banner out on the street stating that registration was a few weeks back he could hardly contain his excitement. So we signed him up and they informed us that there would be tryouts to be held coming up in a couple weeks. Well, we had snow on both of the days that they had originally been scheduled for so the make up was tonight. He was so excited! The moment he has been waiting for is finally here! We pull up and it literally looked like the scene from any baseball movie where there are people all over the field throwing the ball back and forth with people with clipboards watching their every move! Did I mention these kids are only 8! I was nervous for him! I knew it wasn't a real tryout so I wasn't too nervous but holy cow! You could tell he has switched from excited to nervous as well. That changed when a kid came up to him and asked if he wanted to play catch. Then he was just a kid who wanted to play baseball. His number was 28 (David Justice's number when he was a Yankee...not that I am proud to say he was a Yankee) they lined all the kids up in numerical order and one at a time they were given the chance to pitch, field a ground ball, and hit. He did okay...not the best but not the worst either. He just loves the game and wants to play, and that is all that matters to me. Now he just has to wait to see what team he ends up on and then he will be ready to go. The games start in a month so pretty soon we should find out.
