Steeeerike Three!
Spring is officially here and that means little league baseball. In this image a young batter from the opposing team is caught looking at strike three. That will happen a lot to these aspiring boys of summer. It is part of the learning process. He will soon learn to recognize a pitch that is coming into his strike zone. He may not hit every one of them, but there will be fewer times that he is caught looking at strike three. I love this time of year. There are few things more entertaining than a day at the ball park with a bunch of eleven-year-olds.
They have to learn and it's wonderful to watch them figure out when and what to do. A fun time in their lives.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day my friend. ☺
Some of the learn faster than others, but it is a treat watching them figure this game out.
DeleteThese young guys look so intent on their game. Clearly they love it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great time in their lives to be a kid and play a game that their fathers and grandfathers played before them.
DeleteWhat a great view! I see the dust flying out of the mitt as the captured ball is an obvious strike. Baseball is a great game, but it is thinking that propels it, not constant action. The more strikes the batter takes now will teach them when a swing will connect Nice look at America's pastime!
ReplyDeleteGood eye Ralph. I was hoping that someone besides me caught that dust on the catcher's mitt.
DeleteI love baseball at all levels from the major leagues down to pee wee t ball. In high school we had a point system on the team. It was like a home run was four points and a fielding error was like minus one. A called third strike was like a minus 20 or so.
