Opening Day of Baseball









We got a beautiful day for the first games of the season. It was in the mid 70's and a little overcast so the sun wasn't beating down on you which was nice. Both boys had games at the same time so I didn't get very many pictures of Nick since I dropped him off at his game and then stayed with Aidan at his game. Aidan is on the RockHounds. All the t-ball teams are minor league teams. The Rockhounds are a AA team which is part of the Oakland Athletics organization. They play in Midland, Texas. Aidan did great and hit the ball well. His team still tries to tackle each other every time the ball is hit but they are learning. Nick's team The Marlins beat the Red Sox 11-8. They are wearing the Florida Marlins jersey not the Miami Marlins jersey because all the older kids are wearing retro jerseys for the leagues 50th anniversary. This is the first year where the kids are pitching and there is a lot of learning going on there too. There were a lot of walks and wild pitches. Nick pitched two innings and got 4 strike outs and didn't walk anybody so I thought that was great for his first time pitching in a game ever. We made it back in the third inning of his game just in time to see him strike someone out. I will try to post some video I took later of them hitting if blogger cooperates and I will try to take video of Nick pitching this week and post it.
