Living in Florida and so close to the beautiful baseball field (complete with batting cages and big lights) Kyle signed up for baseball. Little did we know that they are pretty serious about their little league in Florida and the kids are "drafted". Since none of the coaches were familiar with Kyle we got very lucky where the number one team and number one coach drafted him. As it turns out, Kyle is not only the youngest on the team but also the smallest. As it also turns out, this team has never lost. It has put quite the pressure on Kyle as he has really only played on one team (in Vegas) and it was just a "fun and play as you go" type team. First few practices were difficult for him and trying to make friends with team members that had known each other for years was also a challenge. Warren's due diligence paid off. After daily dates of "playing catch" and numerous trips to the batting cage, he had him ready for his first game on Friday night. There we were, under the lights for an 8:00 pm start. Kyle was tenth in the batting order. Nobody had hit when he went up to bat. Then, there he goes - a perfect connect that sailed over the shortstop and into the whole between left and center fields. Kyle hit a single and eventually got home and scored! They have a two hour time limit so his second bat he walked and again scored. Biggest news of the night??
Kyle was MVP for the night and got the game ball!!! Horray for Kyle, proving hard work and diligence pays off!!
