Take your Base

Our lives have been nothing but baseball the past few months.  This week we have 4 games (last nights was 3.5 hrs!!!)  anyway everytime kyle does something great...like steal home and barely is safe to score a run, or has a great hit I miss filming it.  I get to flustered and caught up in the excitement.  He's been playing catcher this year quite a bit...which is actually one of the toughest positions I think.  He has to catch the pitchers balls, and if they get away from him a runner will probably try to steal base.  He has to know where the play is quickly get the ball and throw it to the person on the base to get the runner out.  It's high pressure sometimes...and he has made some great plays.  Ben thinks it's the coolest.  He says in another life he would have been a catcher.....hmmm
Anyway here's a pict of kyle playing catcher and then here's what I caught when I acutally filmed him at bat

Kyle's hit...i guess i have to link you to youtube since I can't figure out how to post here :)

check out my gasp at the end...kyle likes pausing the video and laughing at his "hit" position...yes he does have a bruise that looks like a baseball on his back-these are real baseballs they are using.  He didn't cry-just took his base like a man...LOTS of kids fall to the ground crying.  I'm not joking.  You can hear ben in the background during my gasp "You're alright"...in other words he's hoping his son will "be a man" haha
