We did it!
The Greensboro Grasshoppers have taken the 2010 Herriman T-Ball City Series. Going through a rigorous season with fierce competition they managed to stay undefeated. They trailed the championship game by a large margin, but managed to pull out a win in the finial (second) inning. They ended the last inning with every single player hitting a home run! It was amazing, and something that will most likely never be accomplished by human kind again.
Mason did a great job for his rookie year and is thinking he may want to go play in the major league in a few years. The only thing that is standing in his way is distractions. No no, not the girl cheerleaders! Hard to believe, but it is the dandelions, grass and other things he can pick and throw while standing in the outfield.
He started the year a little shaky at bat. He switched between batting right and left handed but after a few games and countless hours of practice, found his groove batting right handed. Once he was able to overcome this batting slump he never looked back. Even with the initial slump he never struck out. He ended the season at bat with a perfect record.
We do have a clip of his last time at bat where he made a home run and scored a crucial point for his team.
What a fun season! Mason made lots of new friends, and had a good time playing his first sport. He is signed up for soccer in the fall and we are looking forward to watching him play.
