AA Ball...

On Sat night, Ryan's old T-ball coach called and asked if Ryan would come to try-outs for a AA team on Sunday. Ryan has been practicing a bit in the off-season and Randy took him to the batting cases a week or so ago, etc.

So Randy took him to the try-out yesterday. He said some of the kids there were amazing. He said Ryan did well. They do coach-pitch and Randy has been practicing with him on that. So the coach started out by lobbing the balls at him slowly. Ryan kept missing. Ryan's old coach told the guy to speed up his pitches, and Ryan started smacking the heck out of them.

They did some drills, Randy said Ryan did fairly well. He played first base for a bit and caught every ball. Randy said it was a little hard for Ryan to get use to throwing to kids that could actually catch. He needs to work on the accuracy of his throwing, yada yada....

Anyway, Randy's stomach has been in KNOTS all day waiting to see if Ryan made the team. He's supposed to find out today. It's pretty funny to see him all worked up over this 7 yr old AA baseball team. Funny stuff.

I think Ryan is a little bit anxious too, but NOTHING compared to his daddy...
