Are You Ready For Some Baseball !!!!

Introducing...
For the Lakewood Village Little League T-ball Dodgers...
Number 10...
Porter Rosenlof!

I can't believe the time has come! One of MY little guys is playing baseball! We have been getting ready for this for months and Porter has been so excited to actually be on his very own baseball team, uniform and all. Then to find out that he was on the "DODGERS" with his cousin Cody... what a dream come true for this little man. We did opening day, we did the pancake breakfast and we took pictures. Finally the time had come...

The Dodgers first game!

Someone once said that there are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can loose, or it can rain.

Well I think that that person never witnessed a bunch of 4 and 5 yr olds play T-ball! I thought that I would share a few highlights from our Dodgers first official game.

Weird and awkward stretching The infamous "cup grab"--- the "ready stance" without looking--- and the "squat"
Does this group look confused to you too?
Every T-ball team has to have a "grass picker"! Thank you to Porter's teammate A.J. for filling that roll!Porter's first "coach pitch" at bat!
And the first slide "attempt" into home base.
(Not sure if it quite worked out how he had pictured it in his head!!)And did I mention that in T-ball... Everyone is a WINNER! But all in all it was a great time and this little man is in baseball heaven!
Go Dodgers!!!

I can't believe it....another Rosenlof and baseball?!! (Like father like son, right?) I am so excited for him. He looks like he really did have the time of his life. I can't wait for Hailey and Ryker to do stuff like that.
Thanks for sharing that fun, amazing time in his life, and yours!

That would be so fun to see! I love how you worded everything too... I especially love the part about the grass picker! Go Dodgers!

Baseball uniforms are much cuter than soccer uniforms. We froze this morning watching soccer...CA sun would be so nice!

Jackson just started t-ball. Our league has a mandatory cup rule...14 5 year olds wearing cups. Not a good combination.

Yea! Malloy starts in a few weeks. Let's see the difference- in Flagstaff children will be wearing tie die shirts, no uniforms, no cups, and half the children will be in the woods exploring for wild life. It is pretty laid back up here, Adam does not love that, but I don't mind.
