DISCLAIMER: I am not a writer or critic, just an everyday mom who really loves baseball...especially when my kids are on the field!!!

My blog was created to track my children's special moments on the field and their experience(s) with their respective teams. It is written through a mother's eyes. The intent is solely for the purpose of reliving the game(s) during post season. From my experience, there will be some bad plays / unfortunate incidents, and these may be recorded in order to follow the game(s). There will also be times when I will have questions or doubts...but these are MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION(S).

I apologize in advance if I do, but I do not intend to criticize any player, or coach...I SIMPLY CALL IT AS I SEE IT!!!

Go Big, or Go Home!!!

We were watching the Home Opening Game here in Toronto, between the Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays, on TV last week.  As I watched Jose Bautista receive his 3rd Silver Slugger award I turned to Aaron and asked, "do you think you will ever get one of those"?  His response - "no, but I could get a Golden Glove award"!
 
He's been playing baseball since age 7 and has only had 1 home-run in his life...so far.  He was just 9 years old and just started playing on the Select team.  He didn't earn the home-run because of hitting the ball out of the park, but by distracting the defence.  The hit he made only earned him first base but because he was confident with his running he decided to continue to second base, despite the Coach telling him otherwise.  He landed on second and distracted the short stop, who then tried to throw him out on second and overthrew the ball.  It was just the break he needed to run all the way home.  Me, I just watched in shock and by the time I decided to turn on my camera, it was too late.
 
Work Hard, Play Harder...Dream BIG!!!
