Mr. Baseball

Our baseball season is officially over as of about a week ago. In so many ways it seems like it was a short, quick season. But when I was looking back over the pictures of the season and realized they started in March (with tryouts in February), well, I guess it wasn’t that short after all.

Will was on the Red Sox this season and we were lucky enough to have the same coaches as he had from the fall season, which was awesome because we loved them!

It was a trying season…..there were some good players on his team but it there weren’t many games where everyone could pull it all together unfortunately. Overall though, I thought this was the best season as far as the character of the boys on his team (and the friendships he formed) and I had a fabulous group of moms this season too.  Will improved SO much from the fall and even made the All-Star team at the end of the season.  His on-base % was amazing this season and he had many, many games with doubles, triples and home runs.

I did a horrible job taking pictures this season. I was talking to above mentioned great mom friends too much. Or helping poor little Sis with her homework! 

Here are a few pics that Avery and I took throughout the season….

 

 

 

I love how he is moving towards the ball in this pic.

 

Crossing home plate…..

 

He was 4-4 in the All Star Championship game with 2 singles, a double and a homer.

Playing shortstop in the All Star game….

They had a heart-breaking loss in the championship game….they were up by 3 in the bottom of the last inning with 2 outs….and lost……

This is what Avery had to say about it!

 

A week or so later we had the end of season party for the Red Sox. Moms vs kids in kickball (such fun!) and then pizza and awards.  I love these pics because Avery is sitting right in the middle of Will’s team, just like she was one of them. And then she moved down to be closer to Will of course!
