Last night was a great baseball game, not because of the score but because of the way Jagger played. We actually ended up losing by a large margin but our guy was the player of the game, arguably the best on either team.
First off he made an incredible basket catch in the outfield, then threw all the way to 3rd base almost catching the runner, then making another play while playing 3rd base where he made a great stop, looked the runner back to 2nd and then threw a guy out before he made it to first, then hit a towering double at his first and only at bat and scoring our teams first run. He also stole 3rd! But the thing I was most proud of was when we were down by double digit runs and the entire team was hanging their heads and dejected, our guy was still out there yelling at his team to keep fighting and keep their chins up! There was no way we were going to win and it was just one of those games where lots of our guys made errors but Jag was positive all the way to the end. Everyone congratulated him after he scored so we weren’t shut out but he was very humble to the end.
We saw a couple guys from our team last year who were playing on another team this year waiting for us to finish so they could start their game, and one of the dads told me they’ve all been watching Jag over the past few weeks and how great he’s playing. Now we just need to get about half of our team playing better ball. Some kids just don’t listen or practice or pay attention as they make the same mistakes over and over. I know they’re just kids but its frustrating for the kids that practice and play hard, oh well, it is what it is.
That’s it for today, trying to survive another week. Hope it’ll rain tomorrow as we can use the humidity. We were going to get a humidifier but that’ll have to wait as we must have mailed off 8 more medical bill payments yesterday, it is what it is!
Take care and God Bless.
