I've mentioned before that Cael has been obsessed with sports for the past year. Baseball was no exception and he loved every minute of it. He was good to practice and has improved every game. Dr. Rosenbeck and Casey coach his team, the Yankees, and I helped in the dugout with the batting order and the caged animals... I mean boys. For the most part they were a great group of boys (when they weren't hanging from the dugout) and had a lot of fun together. The good thing with city league is Cael has a chance to meet kids that go to the other school. He made some good friends and was sad to see the season come to an end.

| They have done well all season so we were hoping they would play well in the tournament, but unfortunately it wasn't their night and they lost by one point to the Mets. Cael had a great game with 2 good hits into right field. He has been working on his catching and throwing all season and prefers to play 1st base. They rotate the boys threw positions and some of the boys were struggling with over throwing to first base. Rosenbeck put Cael between him (the pitcher) and first base being played by Wesley Nielson. Cael wasn't happy about not playing a base but went out to his position. During the last inning a pop fly was hit to the side of Cael. Next thing i know Cael runs towards it, jumps up, and catches it! I couldn't believe it, he then had a good throw to Wesley on first base to get out the boy who was running back from second base. Double Play!! I was one proud momma and couldn't help but scream! |

The Yankees had its share of injuries. During their first practice Jackson let go of the bat while swinging and hit Tanner in the nose. He ended up breaking his nose and needing stitches. Then a few weeks later we were playing in Levan where Cael took a line drive to the eye. He didn't start crying until he saw me and sat in the dugout for the rest of the inning. I was worried he was going to be scared of the ball, but he went right out the next inning and had a good hit to left field and then played 1st base afterwards where he made some good plays.
He was disappointed it didn't leave a bigger bruise....boys!?! |
