It is that time of year folks! Baseball has begun! Last year Ryan played in the "Minors", where they have a mcahine pitch to the batters, all of the teams were named after real minor league teams and Ryan played fo the Trenton Thunder. This year, we weren't sure if Ryan was going to play in machine pitch or kid pitch, so he went through the draft for both. The kid pitch league is mostly 9 and 10 year olds, with some 11 year olds and some 8 year olds mixed in. The other interesting thing about this league is that they can now steal bases too. Ryan is 1 of 5 - 8 year olds in the "majors", so now he gets to play in the kid pitch league for none other than the Boston Red Sox. Here he is below modeling his nice uniform (Charlotte - be sure to show Justin, he will be so proud).
Below is Ryan and Gunner chatting in the dugout.
Ryan at bat.
Very focused base runner at 3rd....he scored. 
Below is a great video, Ryan is walked, but they are teaching the kids to hustle, even when they get walked, so I love Ryan sprinting down to first base. I also love his little turn and look once he gets there.....enjoy!After the Red Sox beat the Mariners, we celebrated at Red Robin.
My boys....notice the hat Derek stole from me? Gotta support those Sox!
