The softball, t-ball, and old guy softball leagues are coming to an end. We have spent quite a bit of time at the 'ol ballgames this past week and I can say I am looking forward to not sitting on bleachers any time soon. We even involved the whole famn damily in the outings, the Schmidts, Galarneaults, and Grand-Auntie Shirley came along.
AE's team the Blue Starz went 0-15 (might have been more - lost count). They were the youngest team in the league, all going into 5th grade, with a couple 6th graders who have never played. I am looking forward to seeing how this team will do in a few years.
The girls really didn't seem to notice that they didn't win a game, they had a great time and AE met many of the girls that she will go to school with next year.
Little man took his t-ball very seriously. He would trash talk 5 year old girls, wear eye-black and run amok. He is really ready for the next level, the question is: are they ready for him?
Lastly, Dan will be playing his last, yes I said last game Thursday night game in Hopkins this week. He has played on the Big Ten for 14 years and I think he is really going to miss it, however he is sticking to his word - so far - to hang it up when he is 40.
He isn't 40 yet, but the league will end this week with his team on top. Guess they are going to have a little ceremony, they will retire his #72 jersey and then burn it.
I would imagine I might need to then head down to Hopkins and bail him out of jail for starting a fire in a park... what a way to go out.
