THE MEAN GREEN TEAM






After a 2 year break from baseball Kaden decided that he wanted to do it again.  We LOVE the 2 hour games and he actually really likes the 2 hour practices.  It has been fun seeing him get into baseball again - including knowing all the baseball teams and players.  He even wants to read books about baseball.  We'll know he is committed when he starts baseball as much as he watches basketball!  He is on the same team with a few of his friends so that makes it even more fun.  He has a great coach who really enjoys coaching and spends time with the boys.  His favorite sport is still basketball but baseball is growing on him.  Now it just needs to grow on me.....ANY sport is fun as long as my kids play but you'll only catch me at a MLB game once a year just for the experience not to actually watch baseball!

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

This is my take on the famous baseball song only refering to MLB games - NOT my kids games I love those.....

Please don't take me out to the ball game (unless my kids are playing)
Take me out with the crowd (so I can talk to friends)
Don't buy me some peanuts and cracker jack -  blech! I hate ball park food
I do care if I get back (please no overtime!)
Let me root, root for the home team (who is playing today?)
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, (how many innings are there in a game?)
At the old (boring) ball game
