One Sure Sign of Spring - Baseball

We finally got a half decent spring weekend.
One sure sign that spring is in the air - little league baseball.
Brian signed up this year with his best bud, George. After Saturday's practice session, Scott took Brian to Dick's Sporting Goods to get Brian all geared up.

Truth be told, Brian already had enough gear (ie, a glove), but Scott, being a previous baseball player, saw the need to outfit Brian more "properly". Cleats, Baseball pants and of course, socks. I, of course, had no idea there was such a thing as proper Baseball socks. I consider myself educated now.....

We held an impromptu "game" in the backyard after dinner:

It's George's turn:


Brian tries his hand at pitching:


Brian pitched to both Scott and me. Brian says I run like a chicken - but I did manage to score one home run off him.
