Batters Up! Orioles vs. the Rays

Coleman's first t-ball game was the most fun I've had in a long time.  Coleman and his team did great!  I'm trying to figure out how to post a video of coleman's first at bat.  It's so A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  I didn't realize there was such a thing as bumble bee t-ball...but there is.  They can't really throw the ball at that age, so once the ball is hit it's a race to see who gets to the ball first.  Pushing their teammates out of the way was a common theme.  Normally the push would result with the whole group of 3-5 boys falling over.  (If someone can tell me how to post video...let me know in comments or shoot me an email.)

In the meantime here are two pics of our tee-ball superstar.  The first is of the little man getting ready to bat.  He is #4.  Why you ask?  Duh, because he's 4 years old. 

The second does a fairly decent job of summing up the Orioles field innings.  What's wrong with this picture?  Well, this picture was taken right before the batter swings.  That's coleman at first base.  How many little guys do you see standing up and how many do you see sitting down?  Yep, there are three boys who preferred to play in the dirt than watch the actual game they were playing in.  Even the 2nd basemen when there was a guy on second. Ha!  

There were plenty of other funny happenings during the game. 

- Most of the boys would forget to run when they actually hit the ball.

- One little boy decided he wanted to run the bases twice and headed home only to round the bases toward first next

- One little boy refused to run away from first base, so he just stayed there while the rest of the inning played

- whoever on the fielding team got the ball would run it to first base...whether there was someone there or not

Coleman- You did great and we are all so proud of you!!!
