Baseball

So this fall Ryan decided that he really wanted to give baseball a try. So far all has gone pretty well. His team is 2-1, and he seems to be enjoying himself. Scott has somehow gotten involved as base coach for some games, as well. We've taken to calling him Buttermaker around here (Bad News Bears reference). We have had one injury though. Check it out:

Yeah, that's right. Sam somehow got a black eye at Ryan's baseball practice. I didn't really inquire all that much about how it happened. I just know that when I met them for dinner after that practice there were two very pissed off boys. Sam because the ball that caused the shiner was apparently thrown by his father, and Ryan because his failure to have any hits that night was due to the fact that his Dad had bought him a cheap bat. It was a fun meal.

It's his right eye, but you can't see the bruising very well in this picture.
