Just Doin' His Thang ...

Allstars is now officially over.

It was a packed June -

lots of scrimmages and tournaments.

I think Bowdie said the boys played somewhere

around 18 games total.

That's more than the regular season that's spread 

out over 3 months!!

I'll be honest:

it really threw our family (or maybe just me)

into a tailspin.

Dinners eaten at 4:30.

Dinners eaten at the park.

Dinners eaten at home,

with Bo & Jarrett leaving right after for practice.

Games ending close to 10 p.m.

Missing church on several Sundays.

But would I do it again?

Yes.

There's just something about seeing your oldest

doing what he absolutely, 100% loves.

L-O-V-E-S.

The team did become like a family in a lot of ways.

It gave us some valuable insight into the baseball culture.

It is definitely a community!

And it also confirmed that travel ball is NOT in our immediate future!

Here's J-man, just doing what he loves ...

Probably my favorite pic of him ...

loved the uniforms!

Here's a fun sequence of J making a play at short ...

'1 out!!'

Can you see the slight grin as he runs off the field?

Good inning with 3 quick outs!

The tongue has become his pitching signature!

Always out at the end of a pitch ...

We lost our last game.

He was unhappy -

we really worked on attitude during the season ...

being a good sport, win or lose.

He came a long way!

Here are his stats on the season:

	BB	Hits	K	R	PA	OB	OB%	BA
Jenkins	11	20	3	23	51	33	0.647	0.500

GREAT memories.

Time well spent.

WAY TO GO DACULA MINOR BLUE ALLSTARS!
