Iron Pigs, Season Opener

Logan is a baseball kid, its just part of who he is and what he loves.  He can watch it on TV, play it in the yard, collect cards in an album, read book after book about players and stadiums, go to a game and play it on the baseball field.

When we found out his team would be named the Iron Pigs this spring, I laughed out loud.  Iron Pigs, I love it!  He will play 13 games this season, and after a few practices, his had his first game this past weekend.

He is at the Instructional Rookie level which basically means the ball is coach pitched about 6 times and if the kid doesn't hit it they can switch to a tee and hit it from there.  If the first practices and game are any indication, I don't think he'll be using the tee much since he usually whacks the ball on the first or second swing and then runs like lightning.  Its exciting to watch him play and joyful to see him having so much fun playing and enjoying himself.

12 games left, with the second one being tomorrow night.  We might take off this spring and summer from taekwondo with so much baseball action, and soon swim team season will be heating up.  Busy, fun spring!
