James and Baseball 1

Here are pictures from opening day. Unfortunately his team lost the game - they gave up a 9-2 lead to lose 13-9. Even at this age it all comes down to pitching.

What do you want me to do Coach?

Oh that's right - hit the ball. James has dramatically improved his hitting this year.

James had no desire to play ball this year. I asked him the other day if he was enjoying this year and he actually smiled and said yes. I don't know if it is because he has improved with his hitting, if it is the team and coach, going to a pitching coach, or the combination of them all.
