It's T-Ball Time!


When the snow melts and the flowers start to return to life, the grass gets cut on the field, the gloves break out… and it’s baseball season!  For Paul this could be just another fun thing to do, or this could be the start of a Hall of Fame career!!  I’ll guess it’s probably the former, but hey, who knows?  Anyway, Paul is playing T-Ball, which is a full contact version of the game baseball, played with small children.  Sounds fun, right?  So far it has been, and he seems to be enjoying it.  When he’s not bouncing off the grass, wearing his glove for a hat, or jumping on the pile to fight for the ball, he’s actually been doing pretty good.  He hits solid, and he’s really picking up on the basic rules, so hopefully he’ll keep enjoying it and have a lot of fun.  And now it's only about 15 years before he signs that first contract...

So you're telling me I should take this blunt metal object and swing it as hard as I can at stuff?  Sounds good...

This is just Paulie being Paulie... watching from the plate as the ball soars high over the upper deck... a natural left handed slugger.

A few fans turned out to cheer him on, including this gentleman.

This is called, "fielding the ball."  Thankfully Adam didn't end up at the bottom of the pile.

He's growing up on us, and it's too late to stop it now.  But here's to spring and warmer weather!  Now play ball!
