Will Logan be a Famous Baseball Player….

Well…. I will let you decide! Let me give you all the facts and plays of Logan’s 5-year-old T-ball season so you can make a fair judgment! It started off great! We got our new glove and met our coach. We had a couple practices and then got our shirts, hats, and team name. We were the Diamond Backs and that made Logan very happy. Then the games started and let’s just say Logan must not of heard that they were suppose to play ball during a game instead he enjoyed quacking like a duck on the field with his teammate. I wanted to die of embarrassment, but we knicked that one in the butt, by taking him to his 12 year old cousin's (Jared) game to show him baseplayers DON'T QUACK. To replace quacking Logan decided to look at grass, wave to us, and give us the an occasional thumbs up (which meant he was not quacking or sitting down). Now here is my favorite part. Being the competitive parents that we all can be, Bryan and I were yelling at the top of our Lungs, “Logan get the ball, run for the ball.” Well if you don’t know Logan he is a very literal person and the coach had told the kids they were to stay in their assigned spots and not all run for the ball at the same time. Make sense, right? Well Logan took that literally, unless the ball rolled directly to him, he would not get it. He had to stay in his assigned spot. So back to Bryan and I yelling at him to get the ball. Logan got so tired of listening to us that he came over during the game and said, “Mom, stop! Coach said we have to stay in our assigned spots, so I cannot run for the ball. Please stop yelling for me to do that!” Enough said…coach knows best. Now Logan did very well at hitting the ball and running the bases. It is a good thing everybody wins in T-ball.

So what do you think? Will Logan be a Famous Baseball Player?
