Baseball fun in the Mitten

Tonight's game had all of the elements of football weather. 45 degrees and rain.
Alan underestimated the temp and came in SHORTS. We stuffed a sweatshirt under Cole's jersey. The buttons were straining but it offered him some protection. As he was playing first base I could see him slipping his ungloved hand into his sleeve to warm up his fingers. The poor pitchers did not have a chance. All of the kids played so hard. The last inning lasted forever and of course the rain picked up. Did I mention wind? That picked up too.

Cole had at least one RBI, one hit and there was a pop-up that he caught.

The coach took the boys out for ice cream after the game. Fitting. Alan went with him. I am not sure his (Alan's ) legs are warm yet.

J stayed home. Smart girl.
