Baseball with Lincoln

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last week, I got a text from my friend Barry.  He told me he was going to be signing his son, Lincoln, up for baseball.  Lincoln is Noah's age.  Barry was curious if I had any tips.  I offered to meet them to play some baseball and show Barry and Lincoln some things they'll need to know for coach pitch.  This morning we met them half way - at a field off 2222 and Shoal Creek.  On the way, Evan and I stopped at Donut Taco Palace and got donuts.

We had a really good time playing baseball.  Lincoln really hadn't done much at all in the way of baseball, but he was really good.  He showed excellent instincts.  Before they got there, I pitched to Evan and he hit.   And then the last thing we did after working on Lincoln's hitting and fielding was have Evan hit.  Lincoln fielded in the outfield.  He didn't catch anything in the air but he was able to keep the ball in front of him which was good.

We came home and then I hung the tv in the game room and moved the shelves I built over to the walls.  Rachel was busy organizing for a garage sale we had next week.

We had leftovers for lunch.

Evan and I drove over to property that Darius' dad owns that he's turning into a baseball infield so that we can practice there.  Daniel had someone with a bobcat leveling the dirt and putting infield dirt down.  Darius and Evan ran around the property and got dirty in the big mounds of dirt.

Darius came home with us but first we stopped at Smoothie King.

Rachel was working in the backyard on some left over vines we were pulling down.  We came in and I hung the tv in our bedroom on the wall.

For dinner, we got Salt Lick.  Darius ate with us.

The boys are still playing together.  Daniel is on his way over to get Darius.

Until next time...
