Who you watch makes all the difference.
No longer Is it just a game. There are leagues , such as this one, where at the ripe old age of seven, the absolute purpose for participation in the sport is honing skills.
Game? Not quite! This is strictly business. Parents, coaches and participants are all totally focused upon doing whatever they are assigned to do. And they are committed to do it best!
These young men hit, run and field as if life depended on it. Hours of practice are evidenced.
The first inning we saw consisted of three hits and three spectacular catches! Out one, two and three... Inning over!
Then our team was up to bat. Our grandsons first hit was a casualty. Lesson here is, If you dish it out, you have to take it too! These teams appear to be equally matched. The Second hitter was out at first. Third batter struck out so the entire inning was about five minutes total! The warm up for the pitcher took longer than the inning!
Same song second verse when the other team was up to bat. Nothing boring here. Last week has been a complete run away with a score of 14 to 0 by the second inning.
There were obviously not going to be big scores on either side tonight.
There are however lots of highly skilled young men on their way to the major leagues in about fifteen years! If they are this good now, just imagine how much fun they will be to watch by then!
