Luke has been asking to play baseball for quite a while now, so I knew that we would be signing him up this season. He is on the A's (bummer...they actually do have a Yankees team) with a really cute group of 4 and 5 year olds and a great coach (who happens to be the grandfather of several of the boys).
Luke wanted to wear his Yankees hat to the first day of practice. When we arrived he immediately got this very concerned look on his face when he saw that all of the other boys were wearing A's hats. Thankfully, they ran out and delivered his A's t-shirt and hat right away. I asked if he wanted to change hats and he looked very confused at me and nodded his head. Sweet boy. I told him that he could be an A's t-ball player and still root for the Yankees with Daddy.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure number 9 couldn't look any cuter, especially with his matching green glasses.
Opening day was rained out last weekend, as were all of their practices last week. So, with two practices under their belts, they hit the field tonight for their first game. They played 3 innings with every player having a chance to bat each inning. No score was kept, but if you ask Paw, he'll tell you that the A's won the game 36 to 35!
