Bulldog Baseball season starts

East Valley Baseball League
Bulldogs vs. Yankees April 6, 2009

This new season, Nevan's team is playing with East Valley Baseball League. It is a tournament league...so much more competitive than the National Youth Sports league he has been playing with the last few years. The rules are notched up...leading, stealing, and the whole enchilada. : ) Their team sponsor is a local podiatrist in Gilbert...he pitched in for all the team uniforms. They are slick! And all the parents have team t-shirts. The coach is in the process of creating a non profit org. for the team called Bulldog Bark. This will enable the kids to begin fundraising for team trips, equipment and such.

Nevan warms up in the batter's circle...








He takes a crack at the ball....and it was a pop fly...out. Bummer! It was a nice hit, though!















Nevan pitched a couple of innings...there is a pitch limit in this league....he can only pitch 60 throws per game...to ensure that the pitchers do not overuse their arms. I am grateful for that!
Justin is one of the assistant coaches....here he is keeping stats.

Cool! They look sharp in their uniforms and Justin looks like a pro keeping the stats. Tell the boys good luck!
