The Journey Begins....

Enjoy the the ride. T-Ball might have been the best baseball time for our family. The joy is pure; win or lose. The friendships are simple and if the right mom brings the snacks ... they are the best!

Who's his hitting instructor?

Last night my soon-to-be five year-old had his first t-ball practice. The fun part for me was that after fifteen years of managing 18U teams I finally got to be just a dad sitting in the stands.

Congratulations and look out, because before you turn around, that sweet little soon-to-be 5yo will be the 18yo you're all too familiar with. Enjoy!

lol...it's a little early for a personal instructor but I'm fortunate enough to know plenty of great ones. For now he's stuck with dear old dad......

At our first team meeting it was kind of surreal to hear some of the parents balking at the $140 player fee not to mention these people have no idea of what a DBAT, Mustang or Tiger is. Wait until they start reading this site!

The Mom and Dad that bring the best treats get the most playing time.

Your kid will pitch if you have adult drinks on ice in the back of the suburban.

That's how it works.

Organized ball at 5YO?

Please tell me you're kidding.

I was glad to be through with T-Ball. It was fun while I was doing it but was glad it was over. 4 years was long enough! Coach pitch were the best years for me. Have fun with it though. Make sure you bring extra pants

Fuqua,

Any hot moms?

If not, ask for a trade.

At that age and up to about 10, Ken is definitely on the right track. They are known as GLM picks.

Me and the Little Beast had (2) batting cages until he was about 7. One in our living room(sitting in the lazy boy and throwing nerf balls at him while he crushed them into the dinning room) and the other cage was at grandma's living room. We did that for hours.

Congrats John!!

When I coached, you had maybe one or two good players in the draft you tried to get, then after that, you drafted the moms that wore the shortest skirts to games.

T-Ball days were the bestest!
Enjoy every second of it.

I have to tell you one funny T-Ball tale.
Son's team was up at bat and one of the boys was doing the potty dance and told the coach he had to go. Coach said, "You're up. You can go after you hit."
Boy nodded bravely, grabbed his bat and proceeded to slam the ball on his first swing with the best hit of his life to date. The ball sailed into center field. He tore down the first baseline as everyone cheered...and then kept running into foul territory along the fence and through the gate into the YMCA building!
He never looked back.
What a hoot!
