The season starts the 31st of March.  Gerritt has been practicing for a week.  Jake and Josh start tonight.

Gerritt is in a “league” that does machine pitch.  His coach has a machine in his backyard that I REALLY covet!  I would love to have one!  The boys would love to have it to practice.  So- instead of spending thousands of dollars on a pitching machine with its massive net that protects the neighbors…we went and got a pole that has a swinging ball attached.   Gerritt has a little quirk in his swing that has caused him to say-”I’m never gonna be any good.”  So we thought we would get him and his brothers this little apparatus so they  can practice- after all- if they don’t practice how can we expect them to go play with the Yankees???

Anyway- it’s been fun to use- I even love it!  BJ seems to enjoy hitting with it.  While I tried to nap today- he was out back swinging away with a pop pop pop sound that kept me from napping!

So- back to baseball season- they will have two games a week- plus practice!  I didn’t realize baseball takes up so much time!  There’s no set day for their games either- they are Monday through Saturday- makes life so fun (TIC)!!!
