A Baseball Kid and His Dreams

Haden tells us regularly he is going to play baseball when he gets older.  He says for the high school and at college.  (He periodically references that to Alabama - Cheyann insists she will then go to school with him so she can cheer him on) 

In any event, we started kid pitch a couple of months ago.  Wow! Alot to learn - there is stealing bases, picking off kids, getting hit with the pitch, pitching, and when you are catching stopping every wild pitch that comes within a 10 foot radius!  Haden loves it and looks forward to practice everyday!  He started pitching and continues to catch.  He surprised us with his pitching! The first game he pitched a no-hitter, pitched only 9 pitches the first inning and allowed only 1 walk with 4 strikeouts during the first two innings!  The other outs were pop outs!  Not too bad. 

I can tell you the games are much longer - not alot of action but the kids feel like they are big stuff!  Here are few shots of him pitching in his first game!
