Of course, Baylor has been practicing since January and playing for a few weeks now, but today officially begins Spring Baseball Jones Style 2012.
Silas is playing machine pitch and is on a team with some of our favorite people. His coaches are friends (Jon Stephenson and Josh Gregory) and we get to be on the same team with our buddies Grant and Rhett Morgan. The throwback jersey seems a little bright, but he gets comments on it wherever he goes. Silas is really growing into a good player. I am thankful that he enjoys it so much. Just recently he caught a pop fly in the outfield. It makes all the ball marks on my walls and ceilings worth it!!!!
Callan gets to be on the Yankee’s again with his longtime coach (Jesse Lee). I really hope something clicks with Callan this season because he has all the knowledge and power a boy could ask for in baseball, but he is a little scared of the ball. It kills me to watch him because I don’t know how to help him get past this mental aspect. He could really be GREAT he just has to decide he wants to be.We are totally okay with him choosing another interest, but it has to be his choice and right now he still thinks it is baseball.
Baylor’s team, as of his last away tourney in Florence, Alabama is currently ranked 9th in the Nation among 11U Majors Teams. To say we are proud of his team and our son is an understatement. He has been through a lot with his former team falling apart, but has learned so much about “when God closes a door, it is because He is waiting with a (MUCH BETTER) window open”. This first baseman has proved to be a show off in his position. His team is a great encouragement and we are proud to be a part of these families.
