City Baseball League Kickoff


Today we attended the Opening Ceremony for Ogden City Baseball for the kids at Lindquist field downtown Ogden. The weather was perfect, I think we all got a small burn (first one of the year). Shanda said it gave her goosebumps to look around and see so many young kids running around in full baseball attire, from the youngest t-baller to the oldest "young-men."

Usually the start of baseball and city recreation has been synonimous with head-ache and frustration, though I have to admit that there have been huge improvements this year over prior years with respect to how the program is being run. I'm excited to see the good changes and hope they continue to roll along.

With our three boys playing this year, our schedules will have Baseball; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for at least the next 2 months. Joseph is at an age where it is becoming more competitive, Matthew's level is still learning some of the basics, and Andrew is just happy to be playing t-ball.

I have happily tried to help assistant coach Joseph's team and am really enjoying that interaction. I really hope all the kids have a good time and most importantly learn how to play the game.
