Baseball this afternoon with the boys my little buddy will be playing
I picked up the boys at lacrosse practice. And it is on it was a big decision. Either play football or basketball or baseball. Now at the moment we have anywhere between nine too twelve kids going too meet us at ball field at elementary school. When we play football I end up playing quarterback for both sides. But at 52 I feel my inner child rising with in me Lynn swan or my man Donnie shell. That is why I played safety in high school. As a kid playing pickup games , in your mind you were Lynn swan making a awesome catch. Or Donnie shell intercepting your brothers pass.
But today my little buddy who is six , he is the youngest brother of a friend of our sons. He will be playing as well I call him willie mays Hayes tipping my hat to the tribe , and major league the movie. Last week willie mays Hayes made contact with the baseball. And he took off to first now a kid gloved the grounder tosses it to my one son. Who was catching and willie mays Hayes was making for second. Were hollering at him go to third well he had to stop at second base to pull up his pants.
Then he heads to third were hollering bring it on home. And my son knew hey were cutt some slack as were standing at home. Shooting the breeze waiting on young mister to make home plate. And I start hollering come on man you dont wanna get out. And he slid no reason really to slide. But it was a awesome slide as our son put the pressure on him playing he was going to tag him. I hollered safe and young mister jumps up and gives me a high five and says yea. Tell you all the kid is in my baseball pickup game hall of fame.
