Starting Baseball

Hello America and the rest of the world! You should probably get used to me saying that.

I found a sign-up sheet in some school mail that I got. It was Burlington Baseball League. I'm signing up for minors.

It's not really coach pitch or little league. It's a mix between. Sometimes they have machines that pitch and sometimes coaches pitch and sometimes kids pitch to kids. Some of deciding to play baseball is because of my New Years resolution to try a new sport this year. I usually play spring football, but I've never played baseball before so I decided to give it a try. I played t-ball before but that doesn't count. The reason I didn't play baseball for so long is because my dad beaned me in the funny bone, he beaned me in the leg, he beaned me in the shin two times, so after that I was in a lot of pain. It was a bad day.

Today I went to the preseason warm-up. It's basically where you just play catch and then coaches throw you pop flies and then - this is the best part - you go home. (I meant that to be sarcastic. I didn't want to go home.) I had lots of fun. Even though the ball went over the fence a bunch of times and I had to go get it because I was the one standing by the fence. My dad didn't bean me once today. That was probably the best part of my day. He was too busy playing with my little sister. They were playing catch. He didn't bean her either.

See you later America and the rest of the world!
