Sorry, but I have to brag. After three years not playing baseball those who know me could imagine the joy I felt when my son told me that he wanted to play ball again. Last night was our first game of the season and he did amazing! Nicolas pitched the first 2 innings (first time ever pitching and they only allow 2 innings in this age group) and he only allowed 1 run in. He also hit a grand slam. His team won 7-4. Way to go buddy!!!
I sat there amazed. Watching his approach to pitching was shocking and the cutest thing ever! With each pitch he took his time (not too much time, but just enough) and would bring the glove up to his face. Naturally people would think that this kid has been watching baseball. That's why I giggled....he has never watched a game longer than 5 minutes. No way near long enough to study the approach of a pitcher. He had an amazing game last night and I'm still grinning from ear to ear. Go baby go!!!! what's even more fulfilling is how excited he is and cannot wait to play the next game.
