number 23.

he's my nephew dylan...my brothers son.
my bro is one of the assistant coaches.
  dylan's obsessed with baseball....just like my brother was, and still is.
he had a tournament last weekend in mcpherson...or mac if your a local.  (30 min north)
the little dude was awesome.
so whatever if i'm a little biased.  HE WAS AWESOME!
he got on base every time.
he ALWAYS slides...
even if he doesn't have too.
i would rip open my leg and bust an ankle for sure.
but when your 10 you can do crazy things like slide into every base
...and roll over backwords just to catch a ball. 
just because you can.
he plays 3rd base, pitcher and even catcher sometimes.
we missed the game where he pitched...they won and he was awarded a MVP medal from the other team.
you concentrate more when your tongue is hanging out.  :)
they played both saturday & sunday. 
they ended up finishing 3rd.
i'm pretty sure they were ok with that.
they all seemed to have really good attitudes.
after the game the coach prayed with them...
they are really a great bunch of 10 yr olds.
it happened to be father's day and the coach made sure they knew how lucky they all were to
have wonderful supportive fathers that love them.
my dad, my bro & my nephew.
this is my niece...she just became a official teenager.
when the game was over grandpa treated us all to ice cream.
summer baseball games.
ice cream afterwords.
it doesn't get any better than that!

  1. Oh man, what could be better than a baseball game on a summer night? I'm not much of a pro baseball fan, but give me a kids ball game any day. My son Eric used to play, but quit after the coach he really liked left the team, broke my heart.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again....having kids involved in sports (any sport) keeps them out of trouble.
    My favorite part is that coach is praying with his team......What a great guy!
