Baseball Begins for the Twins

Both boys are playing for the Twins again this year, but again on different levels.  Tuesday night Luke had his first game, and I got some practice with my camera.  Lots of practice!  
Batting practice


Warming up


There must have been a lull in
the action here.

Happy boy!

Cade couldn't wait to get into
uniform, too, so I let him wear
his Twins jersey from last year.

Huddle!!

I am determined that by the end of the
season this boy will have learned how to
eat a PB&J without getting it streaked
across his face!!

Batter up!

"Did you see that double, Mom?"
 I sure did!

He is by far the fastest boy on his team.
Just got good genes, I guess. :-)

He's fielding at shortstop again this year.

They're playing robbers and he's returning
her to jail (her seat).

YES!! Celebrating an out.

Charge the ball!

Calling the play.  As the oldest on the team,
 the coach has been encouraging Luke to
take the lead on the field.

More robber play...her turn to capture him.

I don't think he caught it, but it was
a good effort.

What can I say?  They're goofballs.

Covering second.

Pep talk.

Another at bat - a single this time.
 
Ready to run.

Crossing home plate!

They lost the game 11-12, but it was a well-played game by both teams.  Lots to learn this season, and lots more games to play!!

Next...Cade's game tonight...if we're not rained out.
