Tonight was the last game in Leon's softball league. He played for our church (St. Andrews) in a men's league through our local recreation department. The games were Friday nights for one hour, slow self pitch and started from as early as 6 PM or as late as 9 PM. Leon just joined the team in mid-season and had a good time playing. He hasn't played softball since back when we first met in 1998, but he still did great and made some unbelievable diving catches in the outfield. It's not your traditional 9 guys on the field, they play with 10 players not counting the pitcher. The team did okay, there's definitely room for improvement, but the most important thing was that they had fun.
The boys loved to be at the ball field, chewing sun flower seeds with Mommy, tossing the ball to each other and cheering on Daddy. They got such a kick out of seeing Leon play, especially since all their baseball experience has only been seeing the Padres play. The season will start up again in the Spring and Leon will most likely be playing again. Until then, our gloves our hung up for the season.
