Take me out to the ball game ...

Oh my word ... Eli age 5(almost 6) is now signed up and to be playing Tee-ball this year. Manda and I have talked about it the past couple of years and Eli has recently expressed wanting to play some ball. So here we are, signed up, and ready for our first meeting. So on Saturday we are heading over to scheels to pick up a few items of "necessity". Some swanky baseball pants, cleats, and maybe a new glove and bat. Oh theres no probably to it ... we will be sucked into the whole dealio. Eli will probably walk out of the store decked out with batting gloves to boot.

Oh heres the killer piece of this post ... so I headed over to www.littleleague.org to check out tips and such for the new adventure we are about to embark on. Ill just post a screenshot so you can see how absurd such a pure and American classic such as baseball has become. What the crock?!!! Its freaking little league people.



Yep ... you are seeing correctly. Evidently there are some parents out there that give their 8-10 year old steroids for the leg up on the rest of the kids. Freaking sick man ... sick.

Plus we wouldn't want his little balls to shrivel up at such a young age. I want grandchildren. LoL!
