The day he's been waiting for his whole life

Ladies and gentlemen, it is t-ball season. And we've got a Twinkie. (At least it wasn't the Cubs.) Tell me you don't just want to eat up this cuteness?Despite being one of the smaller ones (it goes from ages 4 - 6), he wowed the team with his hitting. He has no fear of getting dirty to get the ball. (Now if we could just get him up out of the dirt. Although, at least he wasn't the kid picking up dirt with his glove instead of practicing.) And he can really whip the ball. ("Straight" is something we're still working on.) So next Saturday it's the hot interleague battle between the Twins and Padres at 10:30 a.m. on field #2. And #5 can hardly stand the wait. I am pretty sure we've just found his version of heaven. I'd better find some comfortable chairs. I think we're going to have a lot of this.
