Lafayette Life vs. Dick's Sporting Goods and Bowsher Heating & Cooling

The boys have had it a little rough these first few games.  I don't know if all you parents have noticed or not, but they ARE having fun!  They're excited when they come in from the field, they like getting up to bat, and that's the way it should be!  We want them to have fun while they're playing baseball!  Keep encouraging them and practicing with them.  Something else that our family has done on a few occasions is to go to a ball game with older players - a high school game or an Indianapolis Indians game.  It's lots of fun and gives the boys a chance to see how the game is played.  We also like watching baseball movies like The Rookie, The Natural, Field of Dreams, Mickey and others.  Get them excited about the game!

A few notes to the players . . .

Kristopher - you've got heart!  I'm amazed that you went right back in to bat after taking that ball to the face!

Patrick - way to stay in the game!  You came back and made a great play at first base!

Tanner - keep hitting that ball!  You're doing great watching for the good ones.

Will - you made an awesome catcher tonight - I couldn't believe it was your first time!

Hayden - keep up that great attitude and excitement about the game - you're off to a great start this year!

A few notes to the parents . . .

Please check the updates to the practice and game schedules over to the right side.  Coach Tom has emailed all of these to you, but this is a good place to check, too.  I hope you all have this blog page set as a bookmark!  

Thanks to everyone for pitching in with snacks.  I will start working on an end-of-season party for the team.  More information to come on that soon!
