the boys last baseball game

Well, not forever or anything. Just for the Spring season on their DJ Hannon team, which was a great team by the way. Lots of super nice kids on the team, and of course some great coaches too (I may be a little partial to the coaches since the Manager was my brother in law Tom (also known as Uncle That Guy) and my husband (also known as John)! They were so supportive of eachother and just a good bunch of kids. They made it pretty far into the playoffs (further than before) and even though this was the last game, they played it with heart!

Lots of pictures which aren’t the best- at least not as close up as I had wanted. I only brought one lens as it is sooooooooo dusty up at the field, I wasn’t about to go swapping out lenses and getting my nicely cleaned cameras full of dirt dust. And the lens I brought is more all-purpose (24-70 2.8/f) than sports (70-200 2.8/f) cause I wanted to be able to get some shots in the dugout too. With the big guns lens, the dugout wouldn’t have happened.

Jack had a good game. He made a bunch of good plays at first, had a hit and a walk. In the games the previous weekend, he also played first in both games and did a great job! (Two weeks ago, the boys were called up to a National League game as that team was short players and then had a playoff game for their team immediately following at the same field. So it was baseball from 4:30pm-9:30pm, with dinner at almost 10pm for all of us! They were sooooo happy to be playing non-stop baseball for 5 hours!)A nice hit!!Joe B.- love his expression here. My nephew Brendan.Patrick pitched a 1-2-3 inning, walked once. In the games the previous weekend he got two hits, an amazing catch of a line drive at first and came in to pitch the final 2 outs of the last inning and got the last two batters out, won the game 7-6 with the bases loaded. Even I was at the edge of my seat. Waaaaaay too pressurey for me, but so happy he did so well!!The infamous J-Mac. This kid is speedy! Like really, really speedy.And has the best team spirit!One more of Patrick at bat. The opposing team, but caught a few shots for friends.
Timmy spent most games in the dugout, playing the ipad or the DS. He was the team mascot. 
Doritos and smiles with Joe B.
And with J-Mac.End of game pep talk from the Coach.And that’s that. Until summer baseball starts.
