Mr. Baseball

Backtrack #2...

Those of you who know him, know my Micah is quite the athlete.  He is definitely gifted at anything with a ball and running and jumping.  He played baseball this year and did really well.  It was t-ball but what we loved about this league is that they get the option of the coach pitching it to them first.  And if they couldn't hit the ball after about 7 pitches, then they could hit it off the tee.  Micah never needed the tee.

He had such a good season.  He absolutely LOVED wearing his uniform and playing in the game.  He felt like the guys on tv.  He is so serious when its game time.  No time for playing in the dugout.  He always was watching the game.  Its all business out there.

He had a great coach.  He played mostly first, shortstop, and second.  He did a great job at all three.  He had a great diving play while at second stopping the ball and tagging the base getting the runner out.  He also had a great play at first catching the ball and running it to the base.  We were so proud of him on the field.

However, hitting was another story.  He was known as the big hitter.  The coaches always pitched it faster to him knowing he could make contact and hit it further.  He had several hits out to the outfield passing all the players.  He had a triple - that really was a home run but they stopped him at third.  He had some doubles and singles as well.

I am so proud of him because he works so hard and does it all with excellence.  He purely loves the game and it is a joy to watch him out there loving what he is doing.  He is absolutely in his element!
