Baseball

We love summer, because we love baseball. All summer long you can see dark circles under Casey and my eyes, because we are up to the wee hours of the morning watching the Angels play on the west coast. And we love our local minor league team, the single A affiliate of the Nationals. Andrew gets to run the bases after the game (which is funny because he has no idea what he's doing or where he's going, and always gets confused) and once even got a game ball.








This is Andrew's 1st time running the bases. He had no idea what to do, so Casey told him just to follow the girl in front of him. Note that he misses all the bases, and the mascot, "Uncle Slam", shamelessly calls Andrew out at 2nd. He also had to wear his hat backwards, like the kids on the Sandlot.


At the next game, Casey decided to coach Andrew before his big run, and instructed him to make sure to hit all the bases ("the white things") and that he should finish at home plate, and pointed to where the batter was standing. Unfortunately, as you'll see in the video, Andrew was confused as to which "white thing" where the batter was standing that he should go to.
