Great opening day for Valpo Parks Rookie League baseball.
That's 7 and 8 year olds, more or less. Mine just finished kindergarten, first grade, or second grade. All of mine in their first year in the league?
Their first look at kids pitching. (Unless/until they see four balls, and a friendly coach takes over... and maybe still strikes them out.)
And their first try pitching - I have at least two who can reliably throw 35 feet!
Beautiful weather, good spirit, strong effort, great game.
And, we got to open against HC's boys!
Somehow he got 4 lefties, including one who can actually hit to the outfield - the only player I've seen in this league that makes the outfielder move back beyond the edge of the base path.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying ;)
