Mavericks

Even though it is hard to see, he is in orange with two adults in orange right behind him and he is throwing the ball.
Practicing batting.
Rebekah was so patient and so much fun.
What a cutie. This was an awesome day. We came to the stadium at 10am for what is called a "clinic" where the Maverick players practice for two and a half hours with the kids. Then we went to have lunch which we bar-b-qued in the back of our coaches pick-up. Then at 3pm the Mavericks played and won. Joseph sat with a talent scout for a little while who was timing pitches and even threw peanuts into the announcer box. haha It was such a great day. The Mavericks are a lower team that recruits from colleges and such and Jon tells me that the really good ones will go on to be Angels. Joseph even got a small souvenir bat that he got most of the players to sign for him . Thanks so much to Butch and Laura (Joseph's coaches) for making this day possible.

Pretty cool to be able to practice at the big field & have pointers from the pro's!
