Porter has been so excited, he didn't think this day would ever come. Yesterday we got him a belt and some little baseball pants. He looks like a little professional.Just like with soccer he had to call everyone and make sure everyone he knew was coming to the game. He did have a rather large cheering section. All his grandparents, plus Grampa Great and Ardis, Tata and Cody and Booge and the boys. Along with Burk and I of course. 
I think Burk and I must have been excited as well. We may have gotten a little carried away. But I can't believe how much fun it is to have your kids in sports. I think Burk has been waiting for this day for four and a half years.
At this age they don't really have an actual game. They just kind of give them the basics. They hit through the batting order 3 times. The fielders kind of stand in clumps and they don't really have any outs. A time or two kids would run from center field or second base to pick up the ball barely in front of the tee. Not surprisingly, Porter was all too happy to use this as another social hour. I witnessed him taking off his helmet on second base to show of his new mohawk to the kid on the other team who was "playing" second.
He hit pretty well. He had kind of a hard time his second at bat. The helmet was so big it was down over his eyes and he couldn't see anything. He was so concerned about having his batting glove but forgot to use it. He made sure to tell me the fingers had to stick out the top of the pocket like the catcher for the Lancers.
He just had to have number nine like Sammy Sosa. He wears it well, and I am sure he would make Sammy proud. I couldn't be more proud of him.
