Yep, It is definitely that time again. Monday kicked off a week long Pre-season tournament in our league. We (Sumiton Christian) played our first game Monday night against Sumiton and took the win 20-2. I was very proud of our team. Jordan has played ball since he was 3 years old. He started out in rag ball and has played every year. This year is his last year of park ball and we are soaking up every minute. Maybe I'm taking too many pictures or carrying on just a bit but we will never get this time back and it's so precious. Especially since he's enjoying the park he's playing at and the coaches he's playing for this year. To say that Jordans most horrific year of baseball was last year would be nothing short of an understatement. He loathed last year as did I and his Daddy. He went from playing with coaches who didn't seem to care to coaches who have already this year went above and beyond. Has our son been a phenomenol ball player all these years? NO, he hasn't. But if you ask him what makes a good ball player he will tell you one that plays with heart. Last year almost took the love of the game out of him but Glory be to God for leading us to a ball park with caring and patient coaches who not only welcomed Jordan in with open arms but has worked with him, let him know that he doesn't have to EARN a spot on the team because he's already a part of the team, and helped him to understand that you... "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
