Boys of Summer

The picture on the left is of Mariano Rivera (no relation) of the NY Yankees.
My sons love baseball and have said since they were little that they would play for the Yankees. The fact that we can get Yankee shirts with our last name on the back and not pay extra for special printing is a plus.

They may never make it to that level, but we sure have had some fun with baseball. This past week has been a busy one. Last Saturday, they were part of a Perfect Game. Joshua made a nice catch in the outfield to preserve it. On Sunday they won 6-4 and Benjamin got the win. He pitched 2 innings of relief and got 4 strikeouts. Jump to Thursday and they won 2 games. One for their school (ECA) and one for their other team-the Mets. Benjamin got both wins: 4-3 and 10-0. He had 17 strikeouts and Joshua helped with his hitting.

Some people think baseball is boring, but as far as I'm concerned there is nothing more enjoyable than getting outside and running around on a sunny day and playing with my kids or cheering them on as they play.

I guess it comes back to a saying we have in our Youth Ministry: It's not where you go or what you do, but the people that can make it fun. People/relationships are the important thing and my family (all 7 of them) make my life fun.
