Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

It's a bird. It's a plane. No. It's Mr. Baseball!

Baseball season has finally come to an end. We have received so much rain that we actually had to schedule make-up games for the make-up games. Everett's little team struggled this year. The Coach and I secretly called them the "Bad News Bears." Everett was the third youngest player in the entire league. It was rewarding to see him excel in the sport and hold his own against the boys who were bigger than him.

There was one particular pitcher that we will always remember. He was a big boy. He looked like a miniature Babe Ruth. We spoke to his mother once to tell her how impressed we were. She told us that she called him her "little Babe." The most intimidating thing about Babe Ruth was the speed of his pitches. I did not know that a boy could pitch so fast. At the beginning of the season, he struck Everett out-- but even Everett appreciated his pitching skill.

We played Babe's team for a tournament game at the end of the season. Even though our Bulldogs lost the game, we were just excited that Everett hit a single off of Babe Ruth. It was a great accomplishment.

Everett told us recently that he wants to play at BYU. I told him to keep playing and to make good grades and he just might land himself a position!

It really would not surprise me.

The cheering committee!

I want to tell Kayleigh how thankful I am that she helped so much with Cozette. She is always willing to help me. We had lots of games at night in the freezing cold. I'm not sure what I would have done with out her!


We are already looking forward to Spring ball!
