Little Slugger

Ethan is playing in his 2nd season of baseball right now. He is on the Marana Dodgers. He plays mostly center field. He loves to play and brags constantly. He has a baseball that when you throw it, it's supposed to tell you how fast you throw. Well his always says he threw it 120 mph. He thinks it's right when in actuality he might be throwing it 20-25 mph. He is so cute. We went to his game the other night and watched him play. He did great in the field but when it comes to batting he's still pretty nervous. He is 8 1/2 and he's in a league for 8, 9, 10, & 11 year olds, and this is the first year where the kids are the ones pitching. So Ethan being the shortest guy on his team is quite concerned when an 11 year old who's taller than me is pitching at him. He keeps stepping out of the batters' box before the pitcher even lets go of the ball. His mom said he's only swung at the ball once so far. Hopefully we can practice with him some more and get him over the fear. But he looks dang shmansome in his uniform!
