BASEBALL SEASON IS HERE! (Katy National Little League Opening Day)
March 30, 2008 | Kid Brag
Well, it has begun. For the next seven or eight weeks, we’ll be spending more than half our evenings “hanging out” at the ballpark, watching the Rookie 7 Giants (Ethan) and PeeWee 8 Dodgers (Isaiah) battling it out for Little League Baseball supremacy.
Yesterday was “Opening Day,” full of festivity, flag-waving, and lots of boring speeches (from the kids’ perspective). Only Ethan’s team, the Giants, coached by our Ward Bishopric’s First Counselor (and assisted by the PREVIOUS First Counselor), on which THREE of the nine players are “Mormons.” Isaiah’s Dodgers will have their first game on Monday against the Bulls (Little League has now begun using minor league team name and unis in addition to the majors, as I think MLB now charges an exhorbitant amount for licensing, so now you have the uniforms of teams like the Durham Bulls, Toledo Mudhens, Corpus Christi Hooks, Batavia Muckdogs, Carolina Mudcats, Lake Elsinore (CA) Storm, and the Salem-Keizer (OR) Volcanoes. It’s pretty colorful!)

Oh, and Ethan went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI. He also had a putout at third base.
(Astros open at the Padres tomorrow!!!!)

We’ll be ready to have your breath-taking report on the games. We really enjoyed Buddy’s report on Adam-Michael’s football season. Please keep us informed.
