As I mentioned earlier this week, Ryan's baseball season is officially over. They had a great All Star tournament making it all the way to the finals. This is the furthest a team in our community has ever made it. One more win and they would have gone to state.
I thought I'd share some pictures from the tournament. Top left is after they lost in the final game...you can tell by the smiles that they are very happy! And of course, Marcel, never the shy little brother, had to jump in the photo. There are a variety of shots of Ryan: catching, pitching, playing first, stealing second...heading for home.
I am proud of how hard he works on the baseball field to improve, but even more importantly I am proud of the young man he is becoming. He is a great teammate: encouraging and positive even when the game may not be going the way they want. The coach from the other team who beat them in the finals complimented him at the end of the game, "Hey catch, I watched you play and I'd love to have you on my team. Not only for your baseball skills, but for your leadership and positive attitude." I've been smiling for days...
