A Yankee Year

Baseball season is in full swing at our house, and both Connor and Max are playing this year. Connor is playing in the "Major" league and Max is in the "B Minors". The main difference (besides age of course) in the two leagues are the following:
1. Connor had to try out and be "drafted" to his team
2. Max's league has the coaches pitch every other inning.
3. Max's leauge can't "steal" bases.
4. Connor's team plays games on Tuesdays and Thursdays
5. Max's team plays games on Mondays and Wednesdays

So, we are spending four evenings a week at the Kawanis Baseball Field.
They both ended up (by coincidence) on the "Yankees" and have identical uniforms (Connor is #23 and Max is #7), as you can see from the pictures.

Max is having fun and doing well for his first year playing organized baseball. He plays first and third base and is has had a few hits, including a double in the last game.

Connor is continuing to be very competitive and has had a few chances to pitch, which is always nerve racking for me to watch, but he's done well. When he's not pitching, he's been playing third base as well. He continues to be the "heavy hitter" but we're still waiting for his first home run of the season. I'm sure it's coming soon!

THE BLUR (below) is Connor rounding first base....It's been hard to get good pictures through the fence this year!

Connor's team on picture day "monkeying around" for the camera: Can you pick Connor out from all the blue capped goofy looking boys? Right in the middle of things as usual.
