T-Ball Mania

Jack is a first year T-baller - and today we had the "opening day ceremony" for Kailua T-Ball. If we thought that AYSO (soccer) was a big deal - apparently we had no idea. Anyway - Jack is on the Yankees - so I have to root for the Yankees for the first time in my life - which wasn't as difficult as I had feared - though I did have a feeling that all the other teams hated us more than they hated any of the other teams. Now if we could somehow get Olivia to play basketball for the Blue Devils and Owen to play football for the Fighting Irish I'd have all my favorite teams covered.


Seriously - we have a great coach, players, team mom, parents, and coaching staff (yes - there are multiple coaches - and I am somehow nominally cleared to participate in some capacity - I think I'm an assistant talent scout or backup right field coach). Back to the point - opening day ceremony was good times - Jack is on a great team and the potluck was unreal. They did a team base-running relay which I filmed; as serendipity would have it I kept filming as one of the Yankee assistant coaches (the very nice Coach Kyle) ran following Jack. He took a spill heading for home - which I captured on video and now broadcast shamelessly on YouTube - you'd think I was a Red Sox fan or something - geez.
