The Boys of Summer

Well, here are the promised pictures and a video of Abe playing baseball. His team had a pretty good season. They only lost a couple of times and came in second place among the teams in their division. Abe showed himself to be a very good hitter. His hand eye coordination is excellent and he was directly responsible for multiple runs being scored via his batting prowess. Unfortunately the jury is still out on his fielding ability as he was mostly stuck out in right field and with this age of kids not many balls get hit to the outfield. In fact I do not recall one ball coming his way while he was out there. Oh well. He seemed to have a good time playing and it was fun watching - especially as we saw a great deal of progress in the team as a whole through the progression of the season. The first game was a bit painful - mostly for the players as quite a few of them were hit by pitches - but also for the spectators as the majority of runs were scored off of walks (and batters being hit!). However, as the season wore on the pitching got better and the games were much more exciting. So, enjoy the pics! Wish you could have been here!
