_____Thursday evening Calvin played baseball at Grand Junction. They won. Calvin started as catcher and switched to first base when they changed pitchers. Then pitched and later switched to shortstop. Everyone was hitting and it was a fun game to watch. His friend, Logan, has joined his team as he decided not to be on swimteam. They were going to need more players when others leave. Logan had been on the traveling team too. ______Last night the game was against a different Jefferson team in Jefferson at 7:30. It was getting cool to cold! They lost to a better team, 13-9. Calvin caught the whole game. It's was the first game he has played the same position for the whole game. He got along pretty well, but found out he wasn't suppose to talk to the batters. (The other coach complained.) Only chatter, no personal comments. Hard for him to do when they were his buddies. (I did see him congratulate an opponent when he crossed the plate after a home run!)
OH GEEZ...............let them chat............this coming from a catcher!
ReplyDeleteDidn't J. talk to the umpires as much as the batters?
ReplyDeleteYes, she did. She would know their life story by the time the game was over if they would chat! C. knew the ump. He was a high school freshman and it was his first night umpiring. (his second game) C. would tell him things to do like call for balls in and etc. But he didn't argue when he called a fair ball fowl and C. had made the out and threw down for a possible double play. Just shrugged and went on.
