Baseball With The Kids

Yesterday we bought a tee for the boys to use when practicing their batting. I don’t know if there is a age group for my youngest son, but my older son will be joining little league this summer. He is still learning how to hit so the batting tee should help him a lot.

In the last week, he has really improved his catching. It took him awhile to get a hold of using the baseball mitt, but he is doing great now. Maybe my sons will be baseball stars? I doubt it, but at least they are playing a sport that they love and learning how to work together.

My Boys Love Baseball

It took awhile, but my boys have finally developed a sports passion. They can actually sit and watch a game on TV and are interested enough to play it every chance they get. What sport is it? It’s baseball of course.

When you think about it, baseball is a multifaceted game. First, there is the interaction between the pitcher and the batter. It is almost like a duel. Then there is the hitting, the catching and the running. When I see my kids getting into the game, I really feel like baseball is a lot less boring than I thought.

Am I becoming a closet baseball fan?
