Baseball ~ Running Bases

Welcome to part two of my baseball update.  This one is all about RUNNING.  Something that big10 tends to do well.  I wish I had his energy and enthusiasm to help in some running of my own.

I'm not sure how many stolen bases he has so far for the season.  But I'm guessing it is a bunch.

He always has a look of fierce concentration on his face when he is running bases.  He's got to be ready to dive back on the bag to avoid being picked off.  It really annoys me when pitchers try to get the runner out.  They hardly ever succeed.  It just seems like a waste of time to me.  But sometimes it works.  So, I guess they have to try, right?


I wonder what he is saying in the picture below?

We just have a handful of games left, and then we move on to tournament play.  I can't believe how fast the season is going by.  It is almost SUMMER!!

Big10 and Coach Chris talking strategy.  (I guess.)

I am guessing this will be the last of my baseball post. Unless I get some really AMAZING shots in the next couple of weeks.  Up next will be a long strand of IPhone picture post.  We have had so many things going on lately, that I have only captured on my phone.  Birthdays, and Spring break trips to name a few.  I need to get them posted before they roll around again!!  Stay tuned.

This post made me smile! My dad coached my fastpich team, so there are such good memories of him teaching the strategy of a good steal!

(I was phenomenally short - so I was rarely allowed to swing because most pitchers walked me... I did however, lead in steals because goshdarn that is fun!)

Love your photos - they capture his concentration!
