Baseball

Griffin is playing his first season of Little League, and judging by how much he enjoys it, it won't be his last.  His team is 7 and 8 year olds, so they are in the 78ers division, and his team name is the Green Hornets.  He is number 11.

These photos are from his game a couple of weeks ago.  Since then I have become the scorekeeper and am panicked about keeping track of everything, so I haven't taken any more photos.


They have learned so much since they started practices just over a month ago, I'm so proud of them all. Griffin went from worrying about getting hurt when he hit the ball to whacking it into center field today.  The team scored 18 runs today, though I have no idea how many the other team scored, so we can just celebrate their hitting, which has been amazing the past couple of weeks.


Griffin plays a variety of positions, so far he has been almost everywhere on the field.  Today he played second base and third base.  They only had 7 of their 12 players, so they didn't move around much on defense.  I think he likes third base the best.
