Go KC Royals!!!!

Cooper's first baseball game on the Kansas City Royals was today right after school. He was so excited for the game, they have been practicing a ton and he has learned so much already. It was a very cold evening, but the kids played a fantastic first game! Cooper got some great hits every time he was up at bat and made one of the team runs. He also did great on 3rd base and got a few kids out. It was so much fun to watch, although I would've liked to do it without my fingers and toys going numb!

Let the game begin...
His first time up at bat he hit a single. The next batter up hit another single, but Cooper got out at 2nd base.


Time to be catcher. I think this is Cooper's least favorite position, although he did pretty well. He took a very hard machine-pitched ball to the rib, and got a bunch of dirt in his eye, but he toughed it out.
He was really wanting to make it around to home plate before the game was over. Thankfully, he made another great hit, followed by his teammates and he made it home! (Too bad my picture turned out so blurry)

Way to go Royals! Looks like it is going to be a GREAT season!
