My 10-yo Son Caught His First Pop Fly (lemmy.world)

While my son played one season of T-ball five years ago, I still consider this his first season playing baseball. In fact, a lot of the players on his team have never played before.

They did manage to make it into the second round (out of three) of the end of season tournament. This is where my son made his first big play. He was playing short stop, and the kid at bat hit a pop fly that my son managed to catch.

He was so thrilled, and shocked, by the catch that he proudly stood there with both hands in the air. Unfortunately there were people on base, and he forgot to throw the ball back infield, but all of the parents agree that it was okay given how awesome the catch was.

I jumped up so fast, and was screaming/cheering so hard, that I literally fainted (i.e. got dizzy and lost the ability to stand). I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Good! Those suckers are hard to catch but must pay for their crimes against humanity.

This is how we know you're a real adult.
