T-Ball Uniform

Friday was the second practice for the Nationals, the name of Inwe's T-ball team. Inwe is unhappy that the shirts are so large. When it is not tucked into her pants it is dress length. She likes the hat.

Practice was a good time. The kids got to bat, catch, throw, and get a feel for the real game. The rules are incredibly simple. Each inning, every kid gets to bat. The inning is over when all the kids on the team have batted. No score is kept. The throw is always to first. If the runner is actually thrown out, then that is the only time that first base is empty. Each runner advances one base at a time. As our general manager says, "Otherwise all of the hits would be homeruns!"

Sunday is the first game at 2pm. I noticed on the schedule that there are only four T-ball teams. The Nationals will play the same team every other week. I'll write more on Sunday about the game. Since I am helping I don't get to take pictures. It's a full time job to corral the kids. I'll see if Phill can take some pictures while he takes care of Larien and Finwe.
