Baseball, Beaches & Barbecues

In my extended family, "baseball-ese" is to be spoken in ALL CAPS at all times. But there's something about June that bring back the fondest memories, for me, when it comes to baseball. My brothers played baseball and we never missed a game in their summer leagues. Then my siblings’ sons and daughters played ... and now my sister's oldest grandson is playing T-ball. He has a great attitude about not missing practice or games because he wants to be there for his team. Unfortunately, those little ones are already faced with learning the "politics" of the sport, when the coaches forget that those precious adults-in-training need to be learning the love of the game, and about sportsmanship. How to win and to lose. How to focus on the rules and where to stand as opposed to their natural tendency at that age to lay down and take a nap in center field during the third inning. Or to use their gloves to try to catch fireflies instead of high flies. :) Baseball, beaches and barbecues are upon us. June is here! And so is a part 2 of the Summer Check paperpack I started a few days ago. Hope it adds some color to your day.
