Go Mets!

What?  Isn't it basketball season right now, you ask?  Shouldn't I be saying Go Celtics or Lakers? Well, yes, but not for Tanner.  Tanner started Coach Pitch baseball this year and he was "drafted" into the New York Mets and is #10.  He has had a few practices and a game already.  They played the White Sox and did pretty good.  It is nice that they let everyone hit the ball no matter how many times the coach has to pitch it to them so every kid gets a chance to run the bases (unless the other team tags them out or catches the ball).  They don't keep score but by my calculations Tanner's team got 5 people out and the other team only got 4 people out and they both had the same amount of players... sooo.....

Tanner is actually surprisingly good.  No pro by any means but he really likes it.  It is great to see him all excited about something other then Pokemon or Transformers.  He asks Darin to go out and play ball with him and that is really cute (Hallmark card cute!).  He hits the ball within a few throws (some other kids took 3 or more minutes before they actually hit the ball).  He needs more practice catching the ball.  Right now he expects the ball to come to him, and when it is coming right at him he ducks from it!

I am sure I will be making lots of posts about how his team is doing in the future. GOOOO METS!
