Grand Slam

I saw this sign on my cousin's wife's facebook page and thought it was the best little saying since we are playing ball and have been putting a lot of pressure on Cash since we started the CAYB league for baseball. We have learned since we started that this is not for fun, these coaches, umps and parents are there to win, even if they are 5. Losing is not an option. Some of the teams have been mean! I thought this is what I need to remember, instead of being the parent on the sidelines yelling at him to pay attention, and to make sure he has a good hit.......  (you may have to click on the picture to read it but do that before you read the rest of this post)

Until tonight.....I got to be in the stands tonight, for the first time since I did not have anyone to watch Palin. I have not taken any pictures this season, and decided to take my camera tonight. We were halfway through the game and I remembered that I had it, so I got it out to take pictures the next time he was up to bat. This is the only time I got my camera out... what a good choice I made....

Here he is warming up, and getting ready while the other batter was at the plate.

When Cash got up to bat, the bases were loaded, runner at first, runner at second and runner at third. I am yelling from the sidelines, Cash you better knock them home... hit it to the fence. The next thing I know he is swinging.....

and he hits it, harder and farther than he ever has.... runners started coming into home. Cash did it! He hit a GRAND SLAM, and brought all the runners home and himself. Total score of 4 runs for his team! He was so excited and I could not stop screaming!! Talk about a proud mama. All the other parents on our team were screaming to and I think that Cash was in total shock!

At the end of the Game he got to keep the game ball since he had the best play of the game!!

So proud to be the baseball mom!!
