Play Ball!

I can't help but be a little excited about the start of baseball season tonight.  Thats right baseball season.  I live in Florida, the land of the grapefruit league and both of my sons little league teams kick off practice tonight.  I know you are thinking that the Super Bowl isn't even played yet, but need I remind you it is but just about 2 weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training.

Of course the fact that I coach both of boys on their teams makes it more exciting for me.  My youngest son Bradley will be in modified coach pitch again, so I get to toss the balls to the kids to hit.  No outs, everyone gets up and goes out in the field.  It is hard keeping 5 and 6 year olds focused on the game.  My oldest son Landon, makes the jump to real baseball this year in the rookie league. Though only 8 he is in with 9 and 10 year olds with the kids actually pitching.  I am hoping for a great season with both of them!

As much as I love football, there is something about baseball in the air that gets the blood flowing.
