fall ball

Connor started fall ball several weeks ago.  Fall ball is my favorite time for sure.  The weather is great and it is more relaxed that the regular season which in nice.  Connor is having a great season...he is such a great little baseball player.  I love watching him play and he just seems so at ease when he is on the field.  I had to laugh at one of the parents the other night.  They were getting frustrated that their own son kept striking out.  Then Connor was up to bat.  The dad said, "Well at least Connor's up.  He'll get a hit...he always gets a hit.  We can always count on Connor.  He's predictable."  He just went on and on about what a great hitter Connor is and commented that he is also an excellent fielder.  He kept talking about what a great ball player Connor is.  I love hearing other people brag on my boy!  I'm so proud to be his mom...he is a GREAT kid.

I wish I had a picture of Connor from the fall season but I don't :(  However, I do have a picture from after Thursday night's game.  Connor got nailed in the shoulder while at bat.  It was a hard hit, but Connor was such a trooper.  I was so proud of him (I know he wanted to cry but there is NO way he'd do that in front of his friends).

this picture doesn't do it justice.  It was so red in person.  

Poor guy.  Hopefully next weeks games will be a bit less painful.
