Christian finished his baseball season playing for the Angels a few weeks ago. So it seems like it's just about time to blog about it. :)
He did an awesome job! He played mostly 3rd base, but sometimes outfield, and one time he pitched. He did such a good job pitching but there was drama! It was one of those times that as a mother I wanted to go let 'er rip on those coaches! The coaches of the team we played were making a huge deal about where the pitcher should stand. Their pitcher stood on the marker closest to the batter. Then when Christian went to pitch, they made him stand at the marker furthest from the batter. It was farther enough that it strained his arm quickly and as he stepped forward to pitch he was tripping over the other marker. When our coaches said that wasn't right the other coaches actually went out and measured the field! Twice! As if it really matters that much in Little League! And as it turns out, they were wrong. Then the other players were heckling. :( After that Christian was done and he never wanted to pitch again. Maybe next season.

Preparing for the pitch...
Isn't he sooo cute?!
Being sweet to his baby sister who always wants in on the action!
Deep concentration...
We had so much fun watching him grow as he played. Even on the nights that we froze! I'm thinking Santa might be bringing some fun baseball equipment and he might have an even better season in the Spring! ;)
We love our handsome young man!

Hey, lookin' good, Chris. Playing the Hot Corner is not easy but it looks like you're more than equal to the task. How's your offense? You getting some wood on the ball? I look forward to watching you play soon.
