Jonathan's game was scheduled for 11:30 and Matt's for 1:30. I was sure Matt's would be rained out, based on the forecast, but thankfully the rain held off. Unfortunately, Jon's game started an hour and 10 minutes late thanks to the high school's girls modified softball team, which had a 9am game that lasted until 12:15. I was able to catch the first inning and a half before I had to take Matt to his game, which was at the other end of the athletic fields. I did get to see his first at-bat and I'm told he made an awesome catch of a foul ball while he was playing catcher.
Matthew's game was everything you'd expect from the very first game of tee-ball with a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds. I can't say I see any future All-Stars out there yet, but the kids had a great time playing, and that's the whole point for us. It was fun to watch them try out what they've been learning in practice for the last month. They only played 2 innings, but that was plenty!More pictures of the day can be found here. I should mention that Jonathan is on the Yankees (for the 3rd year in a row) and Matthew is on the Red Sox. Insert favorite rivalry joke here.

Ahh, Little League. Fun times. Cute pics of your boys too!
Ben is on the Mets... and Scott's been working hard to stop Ben from saying the things he's taught him to say about the Yankees (which I can't repeat here). Suffice it to say that Scott's been saying, "We LIKE the little Yankees..."
Are there any games at Helendale this year? I want to see one!
