Great set, Mark. Nothing says spring like Little League games on a Saturday morning.
Mark,
Not trying to hijack your post but this is what you have to look forward to:
My grandson from T ball to Division I college ball (the catcher).

Saturday was opening day of our local T-ball league for kindergarteners, and it was my 5-year-old grandson Hudson's first experience playing in a "real baseball game". He had fun as did grandma and grandpa cheering him on from the sidelines. Much credit must go to the dedicated coaches who helped the little guys learn the skills and how to play the game. Here are a few images. I hope they bring back pleasant memories!

That does bring back some memories of my boys. When we lived in Florida I helped coach a T-ball team for my two older sons. I was exciting, fun and frustrating all at the same time. Loved it.

So many memories...thank you!!
On one of the T-ball teams we had a kid who was just 100% energy and 0% knowledge of baseball. When it was his turn to bat he hit the ball off the tee and just stood there. All the kids started yelling at him to run so he did and took off to third base…and kept going straight down the foul line. Everybody…kids, coaches, parents,…yelling at him and a few kids start chasing him, which only made him run faster. Finally, the kids start yelling “First base!! First base!!” and pointing at first base. The kid hears them and makes a sharp turn still running full speed and heads to first. When he gets there he stands on the bag, huge smile on his face, clapping his hands. I look at the other coach, shaking my head. He looks back at me and says: “Well, the kid can run!!”

Print that set out and give it to mommy. A picture of his face belongs in the dictionary under the word delight. 
Thanks so much for that great comment Tramsey. My daughter was beaming and I certainly will print them.

Thanks so much Charles. I really didn’t notice his smile until I saw the photos!

These are great shots now and they'll become priceless as the years progress.
Thanks so much Nervous. I’m scanning old slides of my daughters that were taken 40 years ago and they are indeed priceless!
