Beautiful evening...a bit on the chilly side if you can believe that for July! BJ had a spectacular baseball evening, to start what might turn into a lengthy baseball career. He was chosen as lead off batter for the Rockies, and ended the night with two wonderfully hard hit base hits. He was chosen to be the team's starting pitcher, and jumped on EVERY ball that was remotely in his range to snag. When you watch the attached video, I want to you pay close attention to who emerges from the dogpile with the baseball in hand??!!! Did we have any doubt? You'll notice he finishes off the play with a little celebratory slide into the pitcher's mound. The camera cuts off just as he's going into his second slide. The second inning he was placed at shortstop, which he played equally aggressively, taking a few balls that could have gone to the pitcher, but the coach told him to play up, so he did! The game ended with true BJ flavor...he started by joining the other team and their postgame snacks (fresh cut oranges) and then joined his own team for two packets of Gogurt. He couldn't have been happier:) Needless to say, we're looking forward to our two games coming up this week before we hit the road. We can't wait to see everyone!!!
