Barrett's 1st Game Ball

Saturday, September 15, 2012
After Brody's game we went home for lunch and then came back to the fields for Barrett's 2:00 game.  Barrett must have been taking inspiration from Brody because he played so well that he got the game ball today too!  (Barrett and Coach Dan)
 
T-ball isn't quite as serious as 7U AA and sometimes the kids seem really focused...on the wrong things!  Like when Barrett decided it would be fun to try to play 1st base with his glove on backwards.  Coach Mike (aka Daddy) helped him get it back on right before the next play ;)
 
It's funny how different Brody and Barrett throw naturally.  Brody has a severe sidearm throw...not Barrett!  It couldn't be more over the top than this!
 
Everyone cheered when Barrett got this boy out on his way to first.  I guess it's a good thing there isn't instant replay in t-ball.  Notice anything?  Yep...Barrett wasn't tagging Zach with the ball...it wasn't in his glove it was in his right hand! lol
 
At one point I looked out on the field to see this.  Mike was giving Emilio some pointers.  I'm not sure if Emilio was listening or just chillin'.  He stood with his arm around Mike's shoulders and legs crossed for several plays!
 
 
 
 
Barrett definitely likes to cheese it up for the camera.  He saw me while he was on third base and stopped watching the game to smile for my camera. 
 
I think the catchers gear is still a little big on the 4 year olds.  Barrett had to keep adjusting the face mask just so he could see where he was going! 
 
Coach Dan awarding Barrett with the game ball.
 
"GO MARLINS!"

Is that a baseball term...gawarding? Great pictures! I love that you caught the ball in his other hand....don't let anyone from that team see your blog....shhhh.....it'll be our secret! You do great catching things like his glove on backwards and Emilio chilling with his arm around Mike...those pictures will be extra special someday. I'll be some of those will be shown before his wedding or graduation.
