Baseball

Marcus and Will decided to put away their soccer shoes for a few weeks and give baseball a try this summer. A bunch of 4-6 year olds playing baseball turns out to be nothing more than organized chaos. There are no rules, or very few. Everyone bats. Everyone plays in the field. There are no positions, no out, no score, and everyone gets a single. The coaches pitch to the kids and if they don't hit the ball after the first 5 or so pitches, they hit from the tee. When the ball is hit, every single player in the field goes running for it. Greg said it reminded him of feeding the carp at the spillway. But, the kids have fun and that is what it is all about. Marcus has said a few times that he prefers playing soccer over baseball. I think there is just a little more action in soccer.

These pictures are from early May when it was still a bit cool out, hence the sweatshirts. Go Will!



Here is the mass of kids/carp going after the ball/bread. Sometimes there is even tackling involved.


Go Marcus!
