BASEBALL

This maybe the only time she wears a baseball uniform but a life long memory!





The Texas slogan is "Everything is Bigger in Texas" and we found that out within the first few days after we moved here. For example, we turned the TV on to watch the National Baseball playoffs and what did we see instead...Local high school baseball and softball players signing letters of intent to play ball for Universitys.
We signed Tyeann up for Softball last season and after the season was over she states
"Softball is my sport" being in Midway ISD Baseball and Softball is VERY competitive!
so when I received an email telling me that Fall ball registration was going on I jumped to it and signed Tyeann up....

Here's my point.....
Ball is huge but only two girls signed up for Fall ball???????? A few days later I received an email stating that Tyeann could play on the boys team.....hummmm
Now Jes and I are not parents that due things for attention but we thought since it was 6/7 years old team maybe it would be good for Tyeann and make her a stronger player.

First day of practice she got comments about girls don't play Baseball but it didn't faze her. It took her 4 pitches (remember its a smaller ball and over head throws) to figure everything out and boy the rest was history...she can hit!!!! And she may inherit my nickname 'Speedy"
Her fielding has improved and the best comment that I have heard was from the very first game when she was playing first base, got a grounder ball and got the out...the little boy went into the dugout stating: " I just got out and it was by a girl?"

Your mother LOVED softball. She was the best and taught me so much about sports. She was probably the catalyst for my sports career. And Yes I AM A GIRL! luv u Eava
