Yesterday I watched my son play his first T-Ball game. He nailed a pitch that came right down the middle for a base hit. A PITCH! It wasn’t even off the T. The coach threw the ball at the plate and my barely 5-year-old son swung and hit the ball. It was an incredible moment.
Incredible for him because he got a hit! A good one too! You could see how happy he was with himself as he moved his little body as fast as he could toward first base. The over-sized batting helmet made him look like a life-sized bobble-head doll as he pumped his skinny little arms back and forth. As he ran by my camera the grin on his face went from ear to ear. He was joyous, and I was there.
It was, by far, the best game I ever saw.

I agree Mark… Best Game EVER! …. I remember my sons first game… He said "Mommy, I didn't know baseball would be THIS much fun!" These moments are what it is ALLLLLL about !!!
Ha! That's exactly right! Guess who love T-Ball now?
Oh.. and that kid is 14 now… and he STILL loves baseball. He has a game Saturday morning as a matter of fact! LOL
Nice article, and I agree. Great stuff.
Thanks! Gotta give mad credit to the coach too…
I have seen that guy……..he is a real knucklehead…..
