Jake The T-Ball Champion

OK! As a father it is extremely hard to be objective about the talents of your son. I am willing to stipulate that in the past year Jake has NOT always been good at listening, keeping his hands to himself (yes - he hit a girl at the first day of Kindergarten), or leaving snacks for others to eat at Sunday School!

However - the joy of my life this year has been to discover that baseball comes naturally to Jake. We have reached the point - at 5 years old - where I have to ask him to please throw the ball to my mit - and not onver my head. He can - at will - throw the ball 30 feet - and still zing it over my head. He has also developed the ability to catch high pop-ips, and loves to slide on grass to catch grounders.
