Riley is a D'back!

Riley played baseball for the FIRST time ever!! He did great!! He looks pretty dang good too! I was impressed by how good he did and how he stuck with it. The boys pitched to each other so he got hit by SEVERAL pitches, but he was tough and hung in there. He got plenty of hits, though not much action in the outfield. I was SO PROUD of him!!

Thanks to our neighbor Bob's personal coaching, Riley has a great swing and stance. Bob spent a lot of time with Riley (he's been a coach for many years and has 2 boys who play and are very good!).


You gotta be kidding me?? These two boys are in the same age group to play each other??? Someone check that kids birth certificate!! He's twice the size of Riley!!



One of many hits Riley took! He never cried and was pretty tough!
Great job Riley!! It was so much fun watching him (except on the cold days!) Can't wait for him to do it again next year!!

Way to go Riley!!! You look awesome in your baseball uniform. Maybe over Labor Day we can go out and play at Grandma and Grandpa's house. See you guys soon.
