Baseball, Apple Pie, USA



Nothing says America like a little baseball, right? Miles was inspired by the Cubs win this afternoon (and surprised that the Brewers' pitcher walked-in the winning run in the 10th inning). So we made up a game where he threw pitches across a plate to me (in the role of catcher and umpire), and tried to get three strikes before he 'walked' the ghost-runner with four balls. His goal was to get three outs before any ghost-runners were walked around the bases to score.

He did pretty well, actually. After the first couple of innings, he asked me to take some video.

Posting the video here for any family interested in seeing the progress he made playing ball this summer. Some good stuff.
