Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Yes, it's that time of year again. Running Payton to and from practice, chasing the girls around during his games, spending too much money on concessions, fishing old nasty sunflower shells that have been on the ground from the last 5 years out of the little ones mouths and watching Payton's team run around the field like they have never heard of the word 'baseball' before. Man, I love baseball season.

NO...it really isn't that bad. It does take a few innings for the team to get into the 'swing' of things. They did really well last night. And losing is nothing to them anymore, they are so used to it.

There are 16 kids on the team this year!! So, they only get up to bat a couple times during the whole game. He struck out his first at bat, and got a single his second time up. So his batting average is 500 right now! Payton is in his second year of Rookies. They use the standard rules and a pitching machine. It makes the games go by a lot faster!

The snacks at the end are everyone's favorite part. I just wish they would share with the parents...I mean the siblings of the players.
