Aiden's first T-Ball Game





Have you ever been to a T-Ball game with 3-4 year olds? Oh man you have got to see this!
This was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Aiden has a game every Tuesday and Thursday night the rest of June and July.
One team takes turns hitting the ball and running the bases letting each player hit atleast once. The team in the outfield takes turn letting two players run after the ball and throw it to the bases. Once all the players have a chance to hit the ball they switch sides so the outfielders come in and get to hit. They don't keep score, it is just for fun and teaching the kids the basics of the game.
These kids are hilarious. The helmets they wear when they are up to bat are too big on their little heads that they come down over their eyes so, they look like they are swinging for a pinada. After they hit the ball they are supposed to run to first base but, you have kids running to third base, not running at all, running before they hit the ball etc. There are kids in the outfield that will just sit down out there and play in the dirt, when they throw the ball they are throwing it with the hand that their mitt is on... etc.
There was this tiny mexican kid that was playing on the other team that was really good. I think his dad was one of the coaches but, he was fun to watch too because he actually knew what he was doing. He would run after every ball and chase down the other kids to tag them and get them out.
