Baseball is summer! If you are a Carlton you also play in the spring too. We seem to do two leagues every year. With several kids playing three games a week on average that is a lot of baseball games to watch! By the time summer league rolls around we have already been playing baseball for three months. As Declan's team headed into the playoffs I was more than ready for it to be over, but they just kept winning and so baseball continued.
It finally concluded with Declan's team winning the championship! He was so excited that his team won and even better he got a trophy! Declan wanted to be the catcher but the coach's kid wanted to play that position so he only had a few games where he was the catcher. He had the most success hitting this year and usually got on base (his hit by pitch count was pretty high but luckily that gets you on base too). Declan took his base running very seriously but once you got that train rolling it was hard to stop. His coach would send him home and then want to call him back but it was too late. Declan would plow into the catcher sometimes but he was always game to try to make it home.

I have about eight months before baseball rolls back around, just enough time to get excited for it!
