There is a very nice baseball complex about 2 minutes from our home with 5 diamonds and when we go on our nightly walks we sometimes stop to watch an inning or two.
Yesterday there was a t-ball game going on. I'm pretty bad at guessing ages but I would say they were around 7 years old.
There was an infield hit (they were all infield hits ) and a kid got caught in a "rundown" between 2nd and third. He ran off the basepath and saw how close he was to home plate - so he made a break for home...from second base. He went over the mound and slid into home. All of the parents laughed their asses of and gave the kid a standing ovation.
i have never watched a sport that is as fun to watch than 7 and 8 year old T ball games........you never know what will and can happen on any given play......
Any sport where single mothers take their kids to play is good in my book....

T-Ball is awesome to watch, but trust me you don't wanna umpire it
I umped a whole game of T-ball and they didn't make one out. Not a single one. But it is funny to watch I remember when I played, we had a kid who always struck out - in T-Ball, I mean come on!
"Jack, will you call me, if you're able?"
"I've got your phone number written, in the back of my Bible."
Always fun to take a few steps back and watch those who actually play the sport for fun. I've watched a few little league and T-Ball games in my life when I needed to get priorities straight again.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

i have been umping t ball games for several years now, and have enjoyed every single game.....it gives me a break from high school games and aau games, as i love to see the enjoyment in a kids eyes as they hit the ball into the grass and get a inside the park hr(with 4 errors of course)..... u just cant beat the enthusiasm and the sportsmanship from the kids compared to the bigger boys.....
