Eli began playing baseball for the first time this year, thanks to my brother's request. He's the coach. Eli was excited to play with his cousins (my brother's kids). After several practices the "new car smell" wore off, and he complained before every practice. I think he shed some tears before every practice and game for a month. These pictures reflect his initial excitement. Well, then....
he started making great defensive plays and gaining confidence at bat. Tonight he pitched and actually struck someone out. Mind you, he is not a pitcher, so the fact that he went out there and threw strikes at all is a something I am very proud of.
Oh, he also hit a pop fly behind the short stop and made a base hit. Very exciting for dad and me.
