Champions

It's playoff time!  That week when all Jr. Baseball fans put their game face and game gear on.  As the Marlin's #1 Superfan, B had to show up in style. yes that is a marlin on his bow tie!

As part of the playoff package, I decided to forego VBS and showed up early to every game to warm up.

We faced our nemesis - The Cubs, in Game 1

No matter.  We showed up swinging and creamed em!

Here's coach telling us we're in the Championship!

The Cubs battled hard and came back for a re match in the championship!  We were a little nervous because their coaches played just a little past the legal line.

Brock's Mom supplied our superfan with a throne befitting his position on the team.



When you're in the Championship game, you don't have time to complain when the ball hits you so hard it leaves stitch prints.  You put your game face on and play!

I played well once again.  Bats swinging, big stops and fast runs.

No surprise...  We creamed em again!

Our coaches decided to play fair even though the other guys were just downright dirty. We were so proud to play on this team.

Coach Capps was sick as a dog, but still showed up with HIS game face on.  How could we let him down??

They were all so proud of us.  Who are we?

T H E   M A R L I N S!

#1 Baby

Later that night, we had a cool celebration.

They don't mess around when it comes to awards for the New Pal Youth League!

Who knew we got TWO big trophies?!  We were #2 in the regular season too!

We may have done a little nuts when they announced we were the champs.  Check out my mad vertical skillz.

Mom told me I was getting the usual token 4" trophy.  Boy was she wrong!

I'm going to miss this group.

Especially Brock, who has been on my last two teams and who's Dad gave me a big hug after the celebration.  He spent a lot of time with me this season and I think he kinda likes me :)  What a great experience!
