Baseball season, that is. My 11yr old son, Andy, plays tournament/travel baseball 10 months out of the year and we had our final tournament of the year this past weekend...and WON it!! The boys were really excited because this end-of-season tournament payed off in USSSA rings for the players rather than the normal trophies. Andy is the shortstop and lead-off hitter. I'm quite proud of him. He didn't want the season to end and I must say that I'll be ready to get back going in Feburary. It's a lot of fun and some serious baseball. Here are a couple of pics...the first 2 are pics of Andy doing what he does best...STEALING! Better watch him! And then the pics of the team.
Sorry if this is off-topic, but I love this stuff!!

Thanks, y'all. And, he does absolutely love to play. He plays all-out, all the time! While he didn't quite get to this ball hit up the middle, he gave maximum effort and that's what his coaches like.

HaHa...yep, pretty old! I was never even close to being the ball player that he is though. We have HS coaches here that want him to change schools so he can play for them in JR High and High School. Pretty crazy for a 11yr old! I just hope he continues to progress, but if he falls out of love with baseball, that will be ok too.

Great looking kid, Mike. You have every right to be proud of him. I have three boys myself and all played baseball. Wouldn't take anything for the time spent on the diamond.

Man O Man these pic's are great. I love the game, played since I was 5 years old. Played softball up into my mid 30"s I don't think you can fall out of love with baseball. Tell him I said congrad's on the season. You can see his love for the game. Love the pic where he is whipping that ball over to 1st.
To many parents these days don't take enough to with the children and I take my hat off to you for that.

AWESOME and a BIG CONGRATS to Andy!!! *up*

Congratulations to Andy...and to you for being such a great dad *cheers*
