Alex and Andrew's First Baseball Game:

This past Monday Alex and Andrew had their first official baseball game. I was especially proud of them since we had talked about participating in team sports for a long time. 

So I had to attend their first game and take a lot of photos.  True to the spring baseball season in Illinois, the weather was about 50 degrees and the game started at 8:00 PM on a Monday night. 

I also had to take the photos while shoving my lens through a small hole in the chain link fence. I also did not use a flash since I did not want to distract the players.

Both of them played well.  However, as with any little league game, there was a lot of walks and pass balls.

Now it was their chance to swing the bat.
