Put Me In, Coach...I'm Ready to Play...

Our local MiLB team, the Indianapolis Indians, held their annual Kids Skills Clinic last night before their game with the Scranton Yankees. We love watching baseball up close at this great ballpark, but last night the boys got to get REALLY close-up and practice some drills with the team. There was the usual trepidation on the part of Alex, but once his brother took the field, he was in.

Heading to the outfield

Let's just watch for a while. Think he'll notice we are standing here???
Ok, we are in line and ready to work out

A view of the ballpark inundated with future baseball star hopefuls.

Almost our turn...

Let US tell YOU how this is gonna go down.....

High five man!

Oh I bow to the great baseball skills of ye "Tribe!"

Here it comes....

He's in position to make the catch....

Slingin' one in from the outfield!

Got his cut-off man....

These guys were great. Maybe it reminded them of when they were kids, who knows? I think they had as much fun as the kids.

Noah on the pitchers mound....why does that scare me????

Maybe if we stand here, they'll put is in against Scranton!

Thank you, Indians, for welcoming our kids to your field! GO TRIBE!
