Well here is Phillip in the batting cages before the game. He was on the Angels, just like his first team. Here is the thing with this team. They were in last place and ended up winning the Championship at their tournament. Phil didn't get to play, they had the game on Sunday and we already have plans on those days.
The league here is VERY different than from the one back home. First, here it cost more and you don't get the full uniform Second, parents have to work the concession stand. Third, we are constantly give or raising money for something or another and still all we get is a shirt and cap. Then our team decided on getting WHITE pants. I could not get over this. WHITE pants are horrible. The stains are hard to get and you know there are going to be STAINS!!!!!
Here is a picture of his teammates. They were a good group of boys. There was this one boy, who could play the game all by his lonesome. Thomas was the pitcher, shortstop, and outfield. He is one of Phil's friends.
Phil is #5 and the kid next to him was one heck of a player. Three times he hit a homerun, and if you know playing at their age and hitting even one is great. Noah is one awesome kid. He and Phil would often go to the batting cages together. I think they really worked for Noah. Phil got a couple of great hits, one time he bunted the ball and no one had any idea what he was doing, not even the coach. But he pulled it off great. He later told us, "I just wanted to see if I could, so I did it".
But it is safe to say, that I am eternally grateful that it is over for now. We now move on to Pee-Wee football. He has pratice all summer long and not to mention that he will be going to Roger Clemens baseball camp this summer. He will be staying down South with family while he attends. Phil has a busy summer.
