Backyard Baseball

Like every little boy, one day comes when their dad decides to teach them about hitting a baseball.  Oh, sure Dallin has been hitting off of a tee for a while, and even hitting large plastic balls thrown at him, but he has never tried hitting a real baseball that has been pitched to him.  First up, the stance. 

 

He’s looking pretty good.  Nathan pitches the ball, he takes a swing and magic happens!

 

We were amazed at how well he hit the ball.  Really hard too.  A couple days later, I was pitching to him while Nathan was at work and he hit a line drive right back at my face.  I put up my hand to protect myself and BOY did that hurt.  My hand felt numb for about 30 minutes afterwards.  I will definitely be wearing a glove next time I pitch to him!!!!!!!!!

 

 

His facial expressions are really classic.  He grits his teeth and grimaces just like major leaguers!
