Brennan's First T-Ball Game

Monday night was Brennan's first t-ball game. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but the fields were open and the coaches decided to play. I think it was a good decision. Brennan was very excited about his first game and didn't even complain about having to tuck his shirt in - something he usually doesn't like doing.

Before the game started, Coach Mike did a little warm up with the kids.  Brennan is number 9 and has a red glove.

The kids were assigned random positions that changed each inning.  Brennan started as third baseman.  All the kids and nearly just as many dads were on the field, directing the kids what to do.

In this league, for t-ball, every player gets a turn at bat in every inning.  They get to run 1 base per hit.  The last at-bat gets to run all the bases and brings everyone home.  That means there really is no score and no winner or loser.  It is just fun.  Both of Brennan's hits were very good - low and right down the line past the short stop.

Here is he is running to first.

Tyler and I came prepared for the rain - seats, umbrellas, raincoats, gloves and a blanket.  At this point, the rain had started coming down a little harder and Tyler was getting cold.  However, overall, Tyler was a great companion and was willing to remain seated as long as I kept giving him lollipops!

The game only lasted two innings before the rain really got out of hand and the coaches called it.  It really was fun to watch and to see Brennan so excited.  The season runs until June 14 and I think it's going to be a fun one!
