Game day

The Mariners FINALLY took to the field today.

Jason woke up at EXACTLY 7 o'clock this morning and rushed downstairs to check in with us. He wanted to make sure the game was still on.

All he could talk about was home runs.

Unfortunately, I missed the first game of Jason's T-ball days.
Doug, very ably, captured the moments for me.



This is Jason's first time at bat. After fouling off a few pitches, Jason laced a ground ball down the first base line and raced to the bag.

Safe!!!

But there wasn't much time to celebrate. Jason had to pay attention and run the bases.



This is Jason standing on third base. He wanted to make sure Doug saw him in action.



Jason was more than proud of himself. He soon scored. Doug says he finished the game 3-for-3, all singles. Well, pretty much everyone finished the game 3-for-3, all singles. The kids, every single one of them, had a great time.



When Jason got home, all he could talk about was the game. And, this zinging hit he got. Apparently, the ball he hit went so fast, it almost went all the way into the outfield. Not quite a home run, but in his mind, close enough!

Thanks to Doug for his insight into today's actions.

I look forward to sharing more details of his games. Of course, you may not want to hear ALL of the details. He plays about 4 times a week!!!!

His friends might think it's good to get it out of his system, too. Anybody who comes over these days is now obligated to pitch to him, whether they want to or not.
