T-ball terror

See that boy o' mine? He is trouble with a capital T-ball. Granted, the children only had one practice before their first game because 2 out of 3 were rained out. And granted, getting Kindergartners and First graders to play ball is like herding cats. But our kid was out of control. During the 2 inning game he:
  • was incapable of staying in the position the coach assigned him.
  • missed a ball headed straight for his assigned position because he wasn't there. Twice.
  • ran for every ball, no matter where it was headed.
  • tried several times to offer other children $5 to let him have the ball. ($5 he does not have.)

But he had a good time, which is clearly the point since every child bats each inning and no one keeps score. And he did know where the bases were. I'll give him that.

T-Ball chaos is my favorite!
I wish it was all t-ball, all the time. It's way too serious when you get to the next level!
