Jack's T-ball coaches arranged for our team to be able to play a game prior to the Spinners game. Jack was so excited to be playing on the field that the Spinners play on. His Daddy was excited to see him too!!!! So off he went onto the field with alot of fans coming to see him. Uncle Buck and his friend Ann, Nana and Doe, Daddies BFF Katie,Thresa, Bill, Maura and uncle Patrick, Jimmy, Laura, Catherine and of course the ump were all screaming in joy.
Jack got up and hit a solid single up the middle and scored a couple of batters later. He was chugging it from third and had this determined look on his face to score, and score he did!!
All the kids got to hang out inside the dugout for an extended period of time prior to the Spins game. They gave each kid a baseball and a marker in hopes that some of the players would sign it for them. Jack got about four or five autographs and chatted up the players, probably giving them advice on hitting. Finally came the nationaly anthem. The kids got to run out onto the field with the players for the national anthem. I watched as Jack talked the ear off of the Spinners second baseman.
Laura and BFF
He is already halfway down the line and the other kid is barely out of the box.
We got to stay for the regular game and after the game the kids got to run the bases too. During the eighth inning the team had a promotion on the field where we got to race in these oversized shoes. Of course I was the only one that wanted to do it. I had signed up Lyn and BFF and Eddie. Eddie reluctantly did it but the other two predictably washed out. Thats okay, they let Laura do it with us and we met an old friend Jack, who was at the game. So we raced and when we were getting a little bit behind I remembered this little known rule that allows for one player to jump out of her shoes and run to the finish line. Thats what happened when Laura jumped out and narrowly beat our competition.
