Major League Baseball - WOW!

The fact that they came on such a cold night was special. The breeze was coming in and the temperature was dropping as the parents and grandparents struggle to stick it through. This is a special game for the 8 year stars in front of us. And to top it off I had a grandson playing tonight.

The pitching machine whizzed the hard ball quickly over the home plate. The strike zone was between 18 inches and 24 inches depending on the players height. Some of the guys were really small 8 year olds. But persistent they are. I was amazed that the ball coming as fast as it was – could even be seen let alone hit. But they did and did it well too. A number of good line drive hits and quite a few homers were part of this exciting game.. WOW! What a game!

I am proud of Michael my grandson – one of the really good players. There is nothing like concentrating on something like this when you are burned up and out. I began to recover at the side of the field.

The Humour…
In the stands are parents of the 8 year olds. You would be led to believe that their sons and grandsons will be major league players someday. I guess I should get their autographs now as well – the parent’s that is.

Listening to the parents is as much fun as watching the game itself. Talk about funny.

"A merry heart does good like a medicine" – the Author of Proverbs says. I believe that. At the game last evening the fun was there everywhere. I needed that very much.

Now the fact that “our team” won 10 to 9 helped the fun even more. I was grinning all the way home. Go Michael Go!

Oh and did I tell you that Michael got the first hit and the first run – and even a few more after that. Woooie!
