No. 10 Boy
26 Sep
No. 10, Donaldson
Joey is playing fall ball now, fine-tuning the skills he started building in his summer league. He’s doing quite well — got a triple today, and his coaches are trying him out at first base — but there are a few differences between the two seasons.
No coaches pitching, just a machine that whips the ball 45-mph ball at my boy. Stinging hands are a side effect. Batting gloves help.
Cups are required. Cups are uncomfortable. Cups make Joey feel like he’s wearing a diaper.
Concessions fund this league, which means parents must take turns working, which means John will be working. Making change is not my strong suit.
Dress code required. Well, not really, but many moms and dads were decked out in the team color to show their support. Note to self: Buy red.
Players get numbers on their shirts. Joey is No. 10.
He’s my boy ! A perfect 10 !! Go Joey ! Work hard, John !
Love, Joey’s Nanny
