Corwin had his first semi-real baseball game today, although that’s a matter of some disputation. When they organized his team, the sponsors got enough players for two teams, so they split the kids. Corwin has played against this other twin team in a short, practice game so perhaps that counts. Today was supposd to be a series of short games against a variety of teams, sort of a pre-season double header. Corwin did quite well. He got the only hit for his team, made an out and while he didn’t catch the ball all the time, he at least stopped it (as opposed to watching it roll past two other players in succession).
However, it was so cold and windy (we had a freeze warning last night) that the first team quit after two innings, even though they were ahead. The team for the other game never showed up at all. I had poor Alice with me and she was pretty miserable so I didn’t let Corwin stay to practice with a few of hardier kids who stayed. Besides, I was hurting from spending an hour yesterday squatting and picking up rocks from the home field (it was squat and tear up my thighs or bend and hurt my back and I can deal with thigh aches a lot easier than back aches). I can also tell that pictures are going to be a bit more difficult to get than for soccer.
