No, I'm not switching from an Indians fan to an Orioles fan for Major League Baseball. But I do now have a rising baseball star on the 4 yr old Orioles team:) It's Kaleb's first time participating in a team sport and he loves it...it helps that daddy is the coach! The had a few practices and now they have 2 games/week. It's so funny watching them play!!! A lot of times they're not really paying attention and the ball gets hit past them, they all run to the ball when it's hit, and they love to play in the dirt! Each team gets to have their players bat two times, 5 coaches pitch and then they bring out the T if they need it, no outs/scores recorded. This helps them all to learn the basics and have fun hitting and running the bases. It can however become a little boring when it takes each player 5-8 times to hit the ball! But in the end I just LOVE watching Kaleb learn and play baseball and have fun with his new friends:)
I took a few pictures, ok A LOT of pictures, of their practices and first game this past Saturday. Kaleb just looked too darn cute in his really big (smallest we could get) uniform:) Enjoy the pics and if you're really patient enjoy the videos too! (I tried to post the ones with the fewest wait times for the players to hit the ball).
First time running home!
Playing the field...very funny:)
Warming up
Team huddle...they love this part!

His first time up to bat...we had to buy an extra-light bat for him to be able to actually swing!
