My little guy is getting so big

My little man starts his first real big boy baseball season this week. I cant believe in just 3 short months he will be 8 years old. He is such an amazing kid.

Chris is the total baseball dad. Hes going out today to get his equipment and Im sure he will come home with more than he will actually need. We are taking him to the batting cages tonight to let him get some practice with the pitching machines since thats what his age level bats with. I just cant believe it.

He was out having a catch with the kid across the street and using his glove for now. Problem is, Chase is left handed and using a right handed glove. Well, at least now we know hes not afraid of being hit by a ball since he got hit right in the cheek. Im going to have to carry those instant cold packs. I am now officially a baseball mom.

Re: My little guy is getting so big

  • aw yay!!!
  • How cute!!!! You will have to post some pictures of him. Do you have anymore stories about him? I think he always does the cutest stuff!
  • Aw, that's so great!  I hope he gets everything he needs for equipment and I'm sure he'll be a great little baseball player.
  • Aw yay!

    Get yourself some chairs. Those bleachers are awful. Umbrellas are good to keep the sun off you too.  They'll play through a certain amount of rain too. Gatorade is good. Yell loud and proud for Chase! (also, be nice to the coaches just because they do work really hard and it is a huge time commitment and do NOT complain about Chase's playing time because they do try to be fair but if you complain it could impact his playing time because most coaches have a rule that if you complain about playing time you get less, not more.)

  • How fun for all of you!  Good luck this year, Chase!

  • Thanks for the advice Carrie. Trust me I wont be one of those moms. I coached a t-ball team for Chase one year and I know how it feels. It was a BS team that used tennis balls and didnt keep score. Everyone scored. Good thing because they kids just ran around crazy and didnt really know what was going on. They had the attention span of a goldfish. The parents were a pain in the ass. It was like they expected me to turn their 4 year old into Joe Dimaggio. I have a lot more patience than Chris does so he will be the yelling dad at those games. Not yelling at everyone, just Chase. It should be interesting for Chase having 2 dads and 2 moms plus both of my parents and my brothers at his games.

    Steve has parents on his team(s) that still think this is his job. Especially now that he's coaching high schoolers looking to play ball in college and the parents think it is totally Steve's job to get them scholarships.
