Last fall I mentioned that Austin left the Bulldogs who he had been playing baseball with for 2 years. We thought we were going to the Sluggers who we played a few tournaments with after the spring/summer season was over. We felt like it was a good fit, however we kept hearing that this team had broken up and when we asked the coach he couldn't deny it. So we started looking for another team. We played a tournament in November of last year with the 89er's, and our connection there called the head coach and said we were looking for a team. Austin tried out and made the team, and so this spring he was an 89er. It was a good season. Austin came home with a lot of hardware and we made new baseball friends. Unfortunately, after the summer season the team broke up. This fall the head coach's son and Austin played for the Badboyz, and had a great fall season (after the broken nose incident). I am still not sure where we will be in the spring, but am confident that we will not have a problem finding Austin a team. He is loved wherever he goes.
First tourney of the year, 2nd place.
First place!
Mother's day tournament, no better way to spend it.
Another 1st!
Nice trouphy! Running out of room for all of his hardware!
On one of our off weekends from the 89er's Austin and the coach's son were asked to play with another team...turned out to be the Yankees. Austin was very torn between wanting to play baseball, and putting on a Yankee jersey. Turns out he had a great tournament, and hit in the winning walk off run to take them to the championship game. He was given that game ball from the coach of the Yankees after the game. They ended up coming in second, which is the only time our family has been sad about a Yankee loss...
