Baseball is Back!

While Major League Baseball is long done this year (with another disappointing finish for the Indians, though they did have an amazing year), baseball around here has just begun! Normally, Fall League starts in September/October, but due to the hurricane slowing down the opening of the fields, it started just a little late... or maybe a lot late. At this point it might as well be called Winter League, since we don't end the season until close to Christmas now. But I'm not complaining, because the weather has been fantastic and it's normally extremely hot for fall baseball around here. We've also been able to play on the new fields here, so the kids (or mostly me) have been excited about that. As of this post, Nolan has been playing excellent at first base and he's the power hitter for his team (he probably should have moved up to the next level because he's definitely old enough, but we'll get there in the spring). Adam has been doing incredible at Short Stop and managed to get on base most at bats. My record as a head coach (all-time) is hovering at .500 though. When I coached Paul's Indians, we went 1-9, then Adam's Nationals went 10-1, and after two games, GP Red is 1-1. Maybe we can go on an historic 8-game win streak to end the season though! We'll see...
