Here's a little summary of T-ball for Spring 2017! Atticus had a really good time and improved over his T-ball season. His team was the Milwaukee Brewers and his number was 7. In this league, they did everything on the tee for the first game and then after that, it was coach pitch for 4 or 5 balls and then they would switch to the tee to let the kids hit. Everyone made it around the bases, one base at a time and they switched positions all over the field. The most common part of watching this group was when the ball was hit, EVERY kid, from all over the field, would run to the ball and dive bomb it until some lucky player got it and then sometimes, even throw it somewhere. And it seemed that many times, when the last player at bat hit the ball (and got a home run so all kids on base ran home), one of our players would chase those kids all over the field getting them out. It was a zoo! But, it was cute and fun! We played on the little t-ball fields at Bachmann and Wayne Smith in College Station. The toughest part was that we had 2 games (and 3 for makeups) during the week for about 7 or 8 weeks. They were some tired kids in April and May, what with all of the school activities, end of year exhaustion, and t-ball games! But, it set a fun baseball foundation with Atticus! Here's some pictures and a video I compiled...although my video skills are not great!
First game!
They batted in the same order each time. Stacey (Greer's mom) and I usually helped at the bench and having them in order of their jersey number was so helpful!
Most of these pictures are a couple of games as the season went on.
Ellie & Grace became good friends this season! They played and played and it made games so much more fun for them (and us!)
Grace, Ellie, Greer, Atticus & Brody
After one game, Atticus and Grace wanted to stay and play and run the bases and play on the t-ball field. So, they did!
Below is one of our last games. It was common to see Atticus taking a couple of breaks during the game.
And below is one of the dive-bombs. I think Coach Michelle was tired of trying to tell the kids to stay in their areas and not ALL go for the ball, but what do you do? At least they are hustling?
Atticus got to play pitcher at this game.
I love this photo below. Somehow, throughout the season, he started raising his leg to throw the ball. It would take seconds to actually throw it, but so funny!
A discrepancy on the play, I guess?
And at his last game, they all got T-Ball trophies. It was a great season!
