Seeing my boys go through the baseball program, the Majors is BY FAR the best. Juniors just isn't as supported and high school.... well.. Back to the best of the best.
Here we are at the playoffs - 4 teams and lots of fun.
Braves beat the Angles, but they loose to the Giants.
Love seeing this guy on the mound. He got more consistent as a pitcher this season.
Became quite the hitter too.
They had a great team with really nice kids that they all got along.
Here are all the kids leaving the Majors at the end of this year. Thanks to Kari Mullins for putting this together.
The final game was against the Angels. Rather memorable event of Drew getting handed the wrong bat and him getting kicked out of the game by a very over zealous ump (the district ump, so over Ed) Drew spend the final innings on the fence with his coach while the team tried to pull out a win. The last ups had 2 kids on base with the kid covering for Drew up to bat. We will choose to think of Drew up there smashing a walk off, but that just isn't what happened.
I am so proud of how Drew, Chris and Pete handled it. They didn't fight, they didn't scream and yell. There were a few tears and it sure pained us to have Drew finish life on the majors this way. His team was super supportive and crushed by the outcome as well. Guess that is really the best you can hope for.
Sadly the ump apologized because it was the wrong call. There was discussion over playing the game over again because his absence had an impact on the outcome of the game. But time and schedules just didn't allow. We watched the final night of the majors and with the Giants coming away with the big win.
Moving onto All Stars. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this poster that Kari put together. Something about Drew base running is a blast to watch. He loves a good pickle.
