Good bye to baseball for another year

Well tonight is the baseball awards ceremony, which means the end of baseball for another year. Christopher will play another year because he missed moving up to the minors because of the May 1st deadline,so he will be on the same team and I have already bought the supporting shirts and baseball hats.
It has been a better year than last and also the worst yet. Christopher played catcher this year, which means no dooda dancing in the outfield (he is really pretending to catch the imaginary ball and throw it like they do in the pros, but from the dugout and stands looks like a dooda dance.)He really made a pretty good catcher except they would not really throw him the ball. He really liked it though. He will be going to a baseball camp this summer and I really hope he likes it and learns some great things.
The negative side is and probably will always be the coach and parents. I guess the power and pride of being a coach gets to people sometime, which makes them hard to get along with. You also have more than one Dad out there coaching and parents that think their child is the superstar. All these opinions stirred up in one big pot make for an interesting season. I am not one of those parents that fall into that category but I will stand up for my son. I don't think he is the best out there but I do think he tries his best and needs to be taught how to play his position. Do not fuss at him when you have not taken the time to teach him the position or don't even treat it as a position just as a ball gopher. I do cheer though, loudly!!! And fuss when the umpire makes a bad call which is usually against us. That happens because as I said coaches and their attitudes cause more than disgruntled parents.
But tonight is the last night and hopefully we can get through this night with love and pride over just the kids.
